I am looking for a good operative procedure text for my upcoming ortho rotation. Any advice?

1. Hoppenfeld's exposures in orthopedics
2. Zuckerman and Koval recently put out a book on operative techniques in ortho

either of those two would suffice

i think AP forgot the mention the OMM text by schiowitz and digiovanna...

i know he read it 3x cover to cover and BACKWARDS !!!

its a classic.....

:D

Hey JP...is this before or after you nicknamed your car stilly? or maybe after you decided to do the OMM Plus one year post gas.....

Campbell's operative orthopaedics is a great resource and is actually concise for specific operations. There are other good books within each specialty area of orthopaedics.

What's most important as a student (and most commonly quizzed) is the basic anatomy. Hoppenfeld's book on surgical exposures is really good.
