A concise overview of orthopaedic conditions in the handy Colour Guide format. Topics are presented in double-page spreads, with text on the left and illustrations on the right.

The impressive collection of colour images allows readers access to a range of clinical examples they might not otherwise see in everyday practice. This edition has been revised and has the addition of new illustrations of MR scans for lumbar disc disorders.The Colour Guides titles have no competition, with their combination of small size, concise text, and lavish use of colour images, they provide an inexpensive but invaluable pocket reference for students and doctors alike.
