Summary: Too mediocre for practitioners
Rating: 2

I agree with the comments of previous readers
that the info is just mediocre and not a good
book for clinicians
I regret this buy



Summary: Good book for basic student knowledge
Rating: 2

This is an excellent text for PT students or for the PT with no acute orthopedic experience. It pres basic and fundamental information. I do not recommend it for the therapist with experience; it is too elementary.



Summary: Good for students, fair for clinicians
Rating: 3

This text may be of benefit to the student physical therapist, when he/she is familiarizing himself with general ortho protocols. However, generally this information is clearly outlined by the referring orthopedic surgeon. I do not recommend this book to experienced clinicians, as the information is very remedial.
