"This pocket reference contains definitions of high-yield terms as well as efficient appendixes that can guide patient management and serve as a vital resource on the floors. There are a number of quick reference guides, but none may be as purely focused on junior orthopedic residents as this one is. I will recommend that our program director put a copy into the pockets of junior residents at the beginning of their first orthopedic call."
