Members don't see this ad.

Hello people, just finished med.shcooll and im planning to apply to ortho residency in december in my country (far far away froum yours) i really want to learn theory from west-orientated books because for 6 yrs i was studing only from USMLe based textbooks.

so the question is,
which textbooks do you read in residency in US (or europe, please specify country)?
which textbook do you advise me to buy for general orthopedics?

really need to know, because its kinda hard to find thins info here (i mean where i am)
thanx.

Nobody? : ( : (

Staples in an orthopaedic library include:

Rockwood and Green's Fractures in Adults and Children
Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics
Hoppenfeld's Surgical Exposures
Netter's Orthopaedic Anatomy
Koval Handbook of Fractures
Skeletal Trauma

Agreed, though I dislike Campbell's.

Would also include -

Green's Hand Surgery
OKU 8
Miller's Review

Lovell and Winter for a paeds book-shorter than Tachdjians

also, there is OKU 9 now. I got it a few weeks ago and it's great so far.

There is like 20,000+ pages of reading material on that list. Maybe you should tell us what your level is and what is the scope of what you are looking to learn, and we can tell you where to start.

You're not really going to be doing the "read a book straight through" thing.

If your program is anything like mine (was) then you'll likely have weekly didactics set aside with a standard text you will read chapters from each week. I've seen programs that used Miller, OKU, and Rockwood respectively for this.

In addition, since most of your learning will occur on the wards in the context of the patients you are seeing in clinic and the wards, you will likely be referring to multiple references to get the info you want. Rockwood was the standard for 90% of our cases presented at morning report, but literature searches are also obligatory.

I think for internship/residency purposes, what really counts in getting familiar with 3-4 standard references you can refer to for real cases, getting comfortable with the literature, and getting a copy of whatever your program uses for didactics.

I don't think there's much of a point in running out and buying a mess of expensive texts. You'll get a lot of these free from the reps (make sure you get in touch with your Synthes rep and get on synthesresident.com as soon as you start). Plus you should have multiple copies just laying around your department.

For me, in internship, I had copies of Kovals and Netters on hand at all times, and referred to the others as needed where ever I could find them. Wheeless' online is nice as well.

Well I actually have a copy of Campbell's operative orthopedics that I will give you if you want it. I'm in internal medicine now so I certainly don't need it I tried selling it online but nobody seemed to want it...it's the 2nd to newest edition. It's not really for reading straight through. It's a book that instructs you on how to do different orthopedic operations. If you PM me and tell me where, I'll try and send it to you if it isn't too expensive to ship the thing. One doc to another...hippocratic oath and all that.
