Netter’s Orthopaedic Clinical Examination: An Evidence-Based Approach, by Joshua Cleland and Shane Koppenhaver, helps you apply best practices to get the most clinically significant information from each physical examination. Classic Netter artwork and anatomy/biomechanics tables provide a handy anatomy and pathophysiology overview, while an evidence-based approach helps you focus on the examination techniques, tests, and measures that have been proven to yield the most meaningful diagnostic findings.

  • Evidence-based information allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical tests available and review recent studies quickly to determine which test will best predict a specific diagnosis.

  • Netter images and discussions of anatomy and biomechanics enhance your understanding of the orthopedic anatomy and pathology of each joint.

A "Summary and Recommendations" table in each chapter helps you review the available clinical evidence at a glance.

An assessment of study quality (QUADAS) appendix and icons identifying study quality draw your attention to top quality studies and help you understand why some studies were included and others omitted.

A scale added to reliability tables makes it easy to focus on approaches and tests with the highest reliability.

A concise tabular approach to terminology and statistics makes terms and equations easier to understand.

Information has been organized to parallel the structure of a clinical orthopedic examination.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The only text available that combines clear yet concise descriptions of orthopedic test performance and scoring with data on the psychometric properties of these tests and measures…This book is well written and well organized and the tables, figures, and photographs greatly enhance the text and make the information quickly accessible to the reader…The most logical choice for a required text for a musculoskeletal evaluation course. It also will undoubtedly serve as a much-used, clinically useful reference text for every student, educator, and clinician involved in musculoskeletal care." - Physical Therapy, review of the first edition

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the first one
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2010

The first edition of this text, in my opinion, set the standard for orthopaedic examination texts. I didn't think the second edition would be better, but it is. All the content has had considerable and valuable updates, incorporating the most recent research (up to 2010). The content is also organized better and it's easier to find specific tests you're looking for. The first text had separate sections for reliability and validity, which sometimes made learning about a specific test cumbersome. This edition has this info. grouped together and it's much easier to learn everything you need to know about a specific test quickly. Additionally, there are recommendations at the beginning of each chapter that provide a "down and dirty" summary of the most pertinent evidence-based recommendations to consider when evaluating a given region (i.e. cx spine, hip, etc...). These are surprisingly helpful when you only have a few minutes to review.

Like the first edition, the test descriptions are crystal clear and easy to understand. All of the content is presented from an evidence-based perspective and clearly referenced. Tests are described exactly as they were in the published research. Drawings, photos and illustrations are first rate (Netter). This text would be worth the cost solely for an anatomy text. But add in all the invaluable clinical information and it's a bargain.

I direct an internship, and this text get's pulled out to answer questions (or end arguments) from interns at least 3-4 times a day. It is a "must-have" for anyone who practices or teaches in an outpatient orthopaedic clinical setting.

Buy this book and you will become a better clinician and diagnostician. It's that simple.

This would get five stars if it offered better photos/descriptions of how to perform the various tests; a DVD with exams being performed to standard would be extremely useful.

Great for clinical diagnoses of musculoskeletal trauma at the FOB.

5.0 out of 5 stars organized well and detailed index

I also own the ortho clinical guide by "Cook" but what I like most about this book is having all the anatomy and quick overviews in each section. Plus the extra info on TMJ and other joints that are overlooked in the "Cook" book. This doesn't have every test often used in orthopedics but it has the best ones with clinical evidence to support the use of specific tests in the clinic. A must have for all PT's.

Wasn't as helpful as expected. Mostly just research statistics. As a new grad, I was hoping for more differential diagnosis and evaluation ideas.

Bought it shortly after I graduated, which I had known about it sooner. Great pics, diagrams, explanations, etc. Netter's plus ortho exam? Such a great idea! For a visual learner, I think this book would be great. Has both pictures (anatomical) and real photos (hand placement for special tests, etc). Well organized and not too much info on one page which can be overwhelming when trying to learn all of this.

Gives accurate, in depth information on best physical exams for each illness with pictures and description of how to perform them. Also contains good anatomy pictures with marked structures for each related section. I feel the key points outlined at the beginning of each chapter are also very helpful.

I am a physiatry resident and wanted a book for anatomy and tests along with evidence for each. Not happy with the organisation of the data and the detail given but my standards are pretty high. Good pictures and a good book for non specialized professionals.

This is a fantastic book to slim down your exam time. It clearly demonstrates validity of various special tests allowing you to choose 2-3 to rule in or out a suspected pathology. Highly recommend it for the evidenced based clinician.
