Rating: - Outstanding reference in orthopedic examination

Chapter four presents an outstanding overview of TMJ examination for an example. The chapter Appendixes with the ... Read More
Rating:  - Good book, not the best
I thought this was an excellent exam book. I preferred Hoppenfeld's book, though there is less info. Of all the ones I've read, the best is still Pocket Guide to Musculoskeletal Diagnosis. I think Magee's is better for a reference. Pocket Guide to MSK Dx is better for daily use.
Rating: - Great contribution to medical education, poor photographs
I bought this textbook together with Ferri's Clinical advisor with great enthusiasm. Though this book has fewer contributors, it offers enormous amount of information on physical assessment.

You cannot resist but feel great appreciation to the hard work invested in this masterpiece.

Rating: - Injury assessment
This book is really a great book. It is very detailed and even a lay person like me can understand it. Every condition you can think of is in it. From skin conditions to MCL ruptures. The book is very explanatory and I really like it. I reference it a lot. It comes in handy for home use too, not only professionally.
Rating: - Good Text
Offers all the standard special tests that you could ask for, and a whole wack of other unproven diagnsotic tests. Doens't really provide evidence for many of the special tests listed, or the psychometric properties (such as specificity, sensitivity, reliability etc) which are necessary for evidence based practice. Third edition was somewhat more concise and didnt include a lot of the "useless" diagnostic tests which appear in the lateset edition and only serve to confuse the reader.
