Description
In its 38th year, A Manual of Orthopaedic Terminology has been a companion reference for anyone who needs the most up-to-date terms, acronyms, and codes terms relating to clinical orthopaedics and research. Portable and easily accessible, this authoritative compilation categorizes and cross-references terms to enable those unfamiliar with orthopaedics to locate a term in its proper context. Unlike a traditional A-Z dictionary format, terms are organized by topic―facilitating faster search results with related terms appearing on the same or immediately adjacent page.
Reviews
Very helpful book for understanding orthopedic surgery documentation and terminology. I’ve used this book as a resource over and over when coding orthopedic surgery reports. It gives detailed, yet simple pictures and very concise, easy-to-understand explanations of orthopedic terms in each section. The chapters are broken down into sections on the spine, hand/wrist, foot/ankle as well as many others. I especially found the pages with pictures of the hip, knee and femur–anterior and posterior views very clear and easy to visualize. By the way, everyone at work always borrows this book!!
