4-STARS from Doodyand#39;s Review
andquot;This book is extremely well done. The material is effectively presented with abundant color illustrations. Important information and suggestions for primary care physicians are spot on, such as obtaining a standing radiograph for a patient suspected of having knee arthritis, among others. The advice to avoid excessive ordering of MRI studies by those not planning to implement the results in their treatment plan is a good strategy and a money saver. I highly recommend this book to all primary care physicians caring for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. It is currently the best work on this topic available.andquot; -and#160;Edward Abraham, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, on behalf of Doodyand#39;s Review Service
