Review Date: 2000-07-16
The authors are the masters of AO school about fracture management. The AO philosophy is well explained in the text. The section on the pelvis and acetabulum fractures are the essence of the whole book. The main disadvantages of this work are about fractures involving spine, wrist, and hand. The section on spinal trauma loses its focus. This book omits the management of the wrist and hand fractures, a sad thing. The management for proximal humerus fracture is quite old fashioned. The AO had developed many new implants recently but barely mentioned in this book. Many proofreading errors will be encoutered but they won't lessen the value of this great work. A great buy for clinician, and junior resident. This book is very easy to read and help yougrasp the essence of the AO phiolosophy in short time. Enjoy!

My Aunt just had her eyes done at Long Island Eye Care... her descision was totally influenced by reading this and two other books on eye surgeries. She ended up avoiding Lasik and going with Mike Sable, a master. No scaring or pain, on visible anything 24 hours after the procedure...no dry eye... go to the Jordan of Surgery in your area if you are messing with your eyes. Cut no corners and read and study to inform this most crittical of descisions.

This book gave me all the information that I needed in order to make an educated decision regarding which refractive surgery was right for me. It is written in terms that a regular person can comprehend, which in turn, enabled me to communicate with my own physician more clearly.

I highly recommend this book if you are considering refractive surgery of any kind. You'll be glad you did!

A great debt is owed to SAGES for the publication of this book. There is no other resource quite like it. It truly is "the bible" for anyone who performs laparoscopic surgery. Although there will always be different nuances in surgical technique, this is a wonderful starting point for begining laparoscopists.
Heavy on technical information; light on pictures.

A good guide for surgeons of laparoscopy and endoscopy

Dr. Goldman covers the topic from A-Z. He cover both the smaller (spider) and larger verins in his book which is not a large volume despite its price. He provides the young physician with a concise, orderly manner with whihc to approach the problems in his practice, the tools, medications, methodology and and the forms both for record keeping and legal implications. It is a "turn key" program that if done with attention to detail will serve the new pracitcioner of this medical discipline well, whether dermatologist or plastic surgeon

This text is a fantastic resource for the practitioner new to the treatment of venous diseases. It is an indispensible tool in setting up a phlebology practice. The appendices of office practice tools (i.e.-eval forms, consents, manufacturers) was a wonderful suprise. Bravo!

I am a clinical physical therapist in the National Physical Therapy Center of NMY - IKA in the city of Thessaloniki and also a clinical researcher for over 20 years speciallized in Shoulder Rehabilitation and specialist in the field of the Stiff Shoulder (specially in Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis, Diabetes stiff shoulder, Post traumatic stiffness). This book is a very usefull tool not only for every Orthopaedic surgeon, but also for all physical therapists who are interesting in the area of Shoulder Rehabilitation. I found very usefull informations in my interesting field of Frozen Shoulder about arthroscopic capsular release and also specific details about manipulations under anesthesia (MUA) for the managment of Frozen Shoulder that helped me a lot to undestand better the nature of this condition. The book provides very extensive in depth descriptions for all up - to date arthroscopic procedures with full color high quallity arthroscopic photos. Also the CD -ROM is very usefull. The specific details for every arthroscopic procedure help much for understanding better the post-arthroscopy exercise prescription. The book has 3 main sections:The Basics, Glenohumeral Joint Surgery and Subacromial Joint Surgery with 17 different well organized chapters about all arthroscopic procedures and also provides guidelines for Post - arthroscopy rehabilitation managment. Professor Gary. M. Gartsman is a great teacher.

I've read the book and had surgery on my back by Dr. Jarolem about 2 weeks ago. I'm ordering extra copies of the book to hand out to friends and family who have back trouble. This book makes a complicated subject easy to understand.

Since this book was written, a new procedure has been developed which has made my surgery much less invasive and painful. The recovery so far has been very quick and everyone is amazed! His web site, www.DrJarolem.com, explains the new procedure and is also very helpful.

Finally a clear explanation of important back issues

I have been operated on twice on my back, and I wish this book was available years ago. Back surgery is a complicated process and it is difficult for a patient to look at a MRI image that the doctor is looking at, and even with explanations from the doctor, to understand. This book clearly and simply explains all surgical options, the pro's and con's and the risks involved with each. It also describes the likley hood of side effects. It also has sample images from MRI's, CT scans and X rays to show you a picture of the problems, with clear labeling. The key , I think, is that it helps you better undersatnd your problem and to communicate intelligently with the surgeon about your condition. I recommend to anyone who may may considering surgery!

Absolutely agree with the earlier review posted below. This volume was published in 1999, and an updated volume should be coming along soon, but meanwhile, this exhaustive collection of words relating especially to ears, nose, throat, and teeth is without peer. If you're an MT looking into expanding your library because you've found yours wanting, Stedman's is the place to look, and this book is a crucial part of such a library.

Best reference for plastic surgery/ENT/dentistry words
Helpful Votes: 13 out of 14 total.
Review Date: 2000-07-08
"Plastic Surgery/ENT/Dentistry Words" is a gem of a reference for the transcriptionist doing work in any of these specialty areas. It is chock full with 69,000 entries derived from >40,000 medical words, phrases, abbreviations, and acronyms. These are conveniently cross-referenced. Who of us has not heard, for example, some kind of "flap" mumbled by the dictator while transcribing a surgical report; here, a list of >4½ pages of various types of flaps are blessedly enumerated. Additionally, surgical instruments and medications are handily listed as well.

Four appendixes complete this volume: 1) anatomical illustrations [54 pages of them!], 2) sample reports [op notes] ranging in variety from typical liposuction surgery to an orbiculopexy, 3) common terms of procedure [such as septoplasty terms, etc.], and 4) common herbs in both Latin and common terminology. This latter is interesting, but I am confounded as to what is its use in this volume.

Nevertheless, this handy volume is really the Bible when it comes to a reference for anyone transcribing medical reports in the above-mentioned specialty areas. I recommend it highly!
