Basic Orthopaedic Sciences

Basic Orthopaedic Sciences, 2nd Edition, is a concise textbook and revision guide addressing the scientific foundations of musculoskeletal medicine. The volume encompasses the core scientific topics relevant to clinical orthopaedics and higher specialty examinations.

Broad coverage includes tissue biology, pharmacology, histology, immunology, and the physics of imaging techniques. It also explores structural and functional characteristics of bone and soft tissues alongside core mechanics.

Rewritten across all chapters for this 2017 edition, the work offers targeted preparation for trainees sitting the FRCS (Tr & Orth) examination, surgeons at the MRCS level, and other clinicians reviewing orthopaedic science.
