Following on from the highly successful first edition, published in 2006, the second edition of Basic Orthopaedic Sciences has been fully updated and revised, with every chapter rewritten to reflect the latest research and practice. The book encompasses all aspects of musculoskeletal basic sciences that are relevant to the practice of orthopaedics and that are featured and assessed in higher specialty exams. While its emphasis is on revision, the book contains enough information to serve as a concise textbook, making it an invaluable guide for all trainees in orthopaedics and trauma preparing for the FRCS (Tr & Orth) as well as for surgeons at MRCS level, and other clinicians seeking an authoritative guide. The book helps the reader understand the science that underpins the clinical practice of orthopaedics, an often neglected area in orthopaedic training, achieving a balance between readability and comprehensive detail. Topics covered include biomechanics, biomaterials, cell & microbiology, histology, structure & function, immunology, pharmacology, statistics, physics of imaging techniques, and kinesiology. Review: Essential book with amazing diagrams - This book is an essential for the FRCS T & O exam. I would not have passed my basic science viva with out it. I own the previous edition and the diagrams have been drastically improved. The diagrams now carry the text and make a lot of areas that were unclear or complicated previously much easier to understand. I was asked to explain MRI and XRs in my viva using drawings and I could only do this because if this book. I would urge any orthopaedic registrar to purchase this book early in their training and even if you have the old edition it would be well worth investing in the new one mainly for the excellent diagrams and pictures. Review: Poor quality. Book arrived late and in a damaged state. - The book was cheaper than anywhere else online. It arrived over a week late. It is very poor quality: frayed pages, dirty cover.
