As an orthopedic surgeon, it is an honor to review a book that for
45 years has been the leading go-to textbook for orthopedic
surgeons across the globe. Rockwood and Green's is considered a
fundamental textbook for every resident in training and a must-have
reference for every on-call orthopedic surgeon who is responsible
for basic and complex fracture care in the ER on clinic. This ninth
edition is a wonderful update to keep every orthopedic surgeon in
the world current on fracture care.
Paul Tornetta and his colleagues believe this edition is a
significant step forward while maintaining continuity with
preceding editions. This edition includes electronic access, offers
bonus videos and depth, and, for the first time, partners with the
Orthopaedic Trauma Association with bonus materials and
publications.
Beyond the obvious scope of orthopedic residents in training,
orthopedic trauma fellows, and every orthopedic surgeon in the
world, this is a common go-to reference for nonsurgical
musculoskeletal specialists and emergency room physicians who care
for patients with fractures. This edition remains true to form as
the standard by which all other fracture books are measured.
This two-volume book is clearly designed and confidently serves as
THE go-to reference for fracture care. For a large majority of
orthopedic surgeons, this book was the foundation of their
education and is the first reference that we turn to when
addressing fracture care. This edition continues to include the
popular authors' preferred technique section and each chapter is
consistently formatted with convenient checklists for preoperative
planning, tables of pitfalls that serve as a quick review before
performing surgery, and easy access to critical information. New
chapters in this already full-breadth reference ensure it stays
comprehensive and complete.
If there are just five orthopedic books that need to be part of
every institutional library and on the shelf for every orthopedic
surgeon, Rockwood and Green's is absolutely one of them. I love
this updated version and the depth that it provides. The new
chapters cover material that the eighth edition did not, making it
a valuable update, but an absolute MUST BUY if the seventh or an
earlier edition is on the shelves. This book continues to be
foundational reading for every orthopedic surgeon, especially for
those in training.
