Ortho rotation prep?

[GLOO_Cannon]

Hello! I apologize if this isn't the right section to post this, but ortho rotations are starting for us soon and i was wondering what rapid review books or pocket references would be helpful for preparing for them? 🙂

[I also apologize if this was asked before but I did search but most of what came up were old-ish so I was wondering if there were any recent handy pocket references that would help or should I stick with what's been recommended previously?]

Whoaa wilddd hahaha

Ooh thanks! I'll keep these in mind. How important would it be to show that I already have some of the basic skills (some PT manuevers, MSK testing, casting, bracing, etc) from prior experience?

Netters Concise Orthopaedic Anatomy is a most. All the green/red bolded words in there are pimpable questions.
Handbook of Fractures is a good cheap book to have
Miller's Review of Orthopaedics is a little more in depth book some students use.

Another book that I truly loved was Hoppenfields Surgical Exposures in Orthopaedics (a resident was insanely nice and let me have a copy). It makes studying anatomy much more meaningful.

Like another user said, all you really need is netters and orthobullets. The majority of the approaches in Hoppenfield are on orthobullets. All the fractures that you will see can be found on orthobullets as well. I just wanted to give you some other options if you wanted something more than those two.
