Book excerpt: Part of the highly respected Primary Care Series, this 2nd edition of Lippincott's Primary Care Orthopaedics provides family practitioners, internists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and osteopathic and chiropractic physicians with the reference source they need to confidently diagnose and treat the most common musculoskeletal patient injuries seen in an office setting. This full-color, highly illustrated volume is designed to deliver the most useful information in a consistent and easy-to-reference format. Each chapter opens with a quick synopsis of the problem, followed by treatment recommendations and clinical pearls. Important sections like "Clinical Points", "Not to be Missed", and "When to Refer" are highlighted to better guide the busy physician in making treatment decisions. Plus, there is an online companion website with text, images, patient handouts and videos of examination and injection procedures so you have access to the content anytime. This is the tablet version which does not include access to the supplemental content mentioned in the text.
