"If readers think, based on the title, they are getting just a book on how to do a musculoskeletal physical examination, they would be underestimating its value. It is like having a personal mentor showing you how to do an exam and best make the diagnosis. In comparison to other physical examination books, this one has many advantages. Most important is the extent to which the authors go beyond the basic physical examination, with specific sections on imaging, history, and pathology. The depth of discussion guarantees that the book will advance readers’ ability to make the proper diagnosis in a quick and efficient manner."
