Written by and for emergency physicians, Simon's Emergency
Orthopedics is the leading reference for handling all types of
musculoskeletal emergencies. This heavily illustrated, full-color

discharge of the patient with a pulled muscle, torn ligament, fracture,
or other skeletal trauma.
The format represents the ideal integration of text and images, allowing
clinicians to actually see what they are reading about. The concise text
tells readers everything they need to know about the mechanisms of
action along with recommended imaging studies, treatment guidelines, and
possible complications.
