For all musculoskeletal courses in orthopedics education programs, including first professional, transitional, residency, and fellowship programs.

100 orthopedics clinical cases address all regions of the body, helping instructors provide all the context their students need.

Many orthopedics educators struggle to find enough clinical cases to provide the context their students need. 100 Orthopedic Cases meets this need by providing cases for different regions of the body, with diverse and realistic complications and, in some cases, medical screening components. All assessments and treatments are based on available evidence from the literature, and some cases are based on case reports from the literature. Each case is organised to also permit its use in practical examination cases. After a primer on using the handbook and the elements of the orthopedics exam, students find cases on the cervical spine and temporomandibular Joint; the shoulder; elbow/wrist/hand; thoracolumbar spine and pelvis; hip, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot, as well as additional miscellaneous cases. 

Gives orthopedics students unprecedented opportunities for realistic review

• Includes all the information needed for patient actors to play each patient in a simulated clinical environment—making possible realistic and practical examination role-plays, where a second student or instructor "acts out" the case to enhance the learner's psychomotor development 
• Online component provides evidence-based rationales for how each case was managed, including detailed explanations of the examination and treatment—enabling students to review case management rationales later, after they have completed the examination and treatment, and promoting the development of evidence-based examination and treatment skills 
• Designed for the full spectrum of orthopedics teaching environments—including first professional, transitional, residency, and fellowship programs

Covers the full range of body regions, complications, and medical screening components 

• Presents a wide range of cases addressing diverse body regions, including the cervical spine, temporomandibular joint, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, thoracolumbar spine, pelvis, hip, knee, lower leg, ankle, foot, and more—providing broad and realistic experience to complement the concepts and techniques already being taught 
• Covers many different complications, and medical screening components—preparing students to handle a wide spectrum of cases
