May 02, 2009: The last 2 or 3 editions of this text have gone in the wrong direction when it comes to organization. The current, system-based organization makes it difficult to find what you need in a quick and easy way. When you do find it, the information is authoritative, but Cameron's Current Surgical Therapy (which I have and love) is head and shoulders above w.r.t. accessibility. All that said, it's good to have on the bookcase. It just won't get used all that much.
I Also Recommend: Current Surgical Therapy.
