Review quotes

Doody's Core Titles® 2022

"There are a limited few "absolute" must-have books for an orthopedic library that are known in orthopedics by the name(s) of the lead author(s): Campbell's, Rockwood and Green, and Green's. Every institution that hosts surgeons who perform hand surgery should have the most recent edition of these titles. Every resident in orthopedic training should have access to Green's and it should be the first book purchased by an orthopedic hand fellow. Active hand surgeons will always need the most up-to-date version."
