"Succinct, didactic (entertaining, authoritative and reference-free) survival guide for junior doctors."
The Bone and Joint Journal
"The book .. would be a valuable reference book for nurses working within any aspect of trauma care. It should be used for study and practice advice alongside an orthopaedic nursing text especially now that there are so few opportunities for nurses to acquire specialist orthopaedic and trauma education and qualifications."
International Journal of Orthopaedic and Trauma Nursing
"This is an excellent book for clerks or junior trainees needing a quick introduction to the complexity of orthopedic trauma. Illustrations are well chosen and highly effective. The book reflects the maturity of a publication that has seen multiple editions and maintains consistency with a small group of writers."
-David J. Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School) for Doody’s Review Service
"This is an excellent, well priced practical book which is well written, informative and very easy to look up and read around a topic quickly. For the right person, this should represent a good investment and the excellent illustrations and explanatory text coupled with the high production values makes this a classy product."
-Dr. Harry Brown, April 2016
