Summary: Don't leave home without it
Comment: This is the single most important book for any veterinarian considering orthopaedic surgery in the dog and cat.
If I had to give up all my orthopaedic texts except one - this is the text I would keep. It is clear, succinct and comprehensive.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good, affordable and comprehensive
Comment: The book is extremely thorough, and contains five parts. The 1ST part, on general principles and diagnosis, is useful as a reference. Parts 2 and 3 are dedicated to the front and hindlimbs respectively and are organized following an "anatomic" layout. Part 4 lumps mandible, maxilla and abnormal bone growth while Part 5 covers musculoskeletal pathologies. The book is extremely lacking in topics of a neuro-orthopedic nature. The book is nicely illustrated and is easy to follow.
This book is comprehensive but limited on its description of specific surgical procedures. If you think that this book will make you an orthopedic surgeon, you are stupid. This book will serve as a refresher, will allow you to convey proper information to clients or to help you make a decision on when (and why) to refer to a more qualified/boarded specialist. If I had to pick ONE orthopedic reference for the general clinician, this would be the book I would recommend.

Summary: Orthopedic bible
Comment: I bought this book when I graduated and I started using it when I did a small animal surgery internship. You can find allmost every type of fracture and a choice of different surgical procedures to fix the fracture you are confronted with. This book describes not only fractures, but several pathological disorders of joints and bones of dogs and cats. I think I use it at least twice a week and this book has never let me down. I would recommend this to every veterinarian who is seriously taking up orthopedic surgery in small animals.
