Recenzje

“The primary audience is medical students and orthopedic interns. Physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physical and occupational therapists are secondary audiences. ... This is a well-written and illustrated pocketbook that plays an important role in medical education. It remains to be seen if this type of publication can compete with the disrupting effects of iPhone search engines. At the moment, this book continues to be highly recommended to the affected medical community.” (Edward Abraham, Doody’s Book Reviews, August 21, 2020)
