    With the proliferation of subspecialty multiple-volume textbooks on the spine, shoulder, hand, hip, knee, foot, fractures, arthroscopy, and so on, it is amazing that anyone would attempt to compile a single-volume general textbook on orthopaedics. The editors deserve recognition for their sheer determination. Dee, the senior editor of this second edition, demonstrates his exceptional expertise for teasing out the essentials of each subject presented, and he is to be commended for the simplicity of the language. The end result is a text that is readable and educational, with a steady focus on issues that are essential for the practicing orthopaedic surgeon and fundamental for the resident in training for both the examination and the board review.
