I recognize that book preference is very subjective, however I would definitely appreciate an attending's advice on which books he/she feels are beneficial for an incoming intern to brush up with and have at the start of the year. I know that it is not feasible to master all of orthopaedics in a few short months, however I am a non-traditional student and have some concerns about being "behind the eight ball" compared to my counterparts.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice you may have!
We provide all of our incoming interns with Hoppenfeld's surgical approaches. While there are a million books from which to choose, this is a no-brainer in that it is absolutely essential for everything we do.
