Wonderful for anyone nurse or nurse practitioner or anyone in medical field starting in orthopedics, rehab or desires a firm foundation of basic exams. The anatomy pictures are excellent. Nerve and muscle innervations excellent. Well worth the price.

I used the Magee ortho text in college 18 years ago.... man has it grown! Many useful pics and the online content was something new to me. VERY HELPFUL! At over 1000 pages, its going to make me some time to read it, but I'll let you know! =)

I really love this book! But I was expecting to have the access code for the eBook too. Disappointing! The access code doesn't allow you to get the eBook, and mine was a brand new book.

Best edition yet. Most comprehensive and what I use in my classroom because it's matches the mains points of my philosophy

It was required for my class. I honestly don't use it that much but it will be a good reference book to have.

the new addition is even better that the last, comprehensive and a must have for any outpatient PT.

This book is huge and extremely informative. Must have for physical therapy students!

Great text with a lot of pertinent information!
