Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie für Hausärzte und Arbeitsmediziner: Untersuchungstechniken, Diagnosen, Therapie, Überweisung (German Edition)

Are you a primary care physician or occupational physician who often deals with patients presenting musculoskeletal disorders? Do your patients complain of joint, bone, or spine problems, and sometimes you feel the need to refer them to a specialist? If so, you might want to consider getting a copy of Joachim Grifka’s latest publication: Muskel-Skelett-Untersuchungen – Ein strukturiertes Konzept für die Arbeitsmedizin und die Hausarztpraxis.

This book is specifically written for “non-orthopedists and trauma surgeons,” giving them a detailed understanding of the orthopedics and trauma surgery discipline. As many as 40% of patients in primary care and occupational medicine come with problems related to the musculoskeletal system, and it is the second most common cause for work disability. Therefore, knowing how to perform clinical examination techniques and interpret the results accurately are essential for primary care physicians and occupational physicians.

The author, Joachim Grifka, is a well-known orthopedic specialist with more than 20 years of experience in the field. He is the head of the Orthopedic Clinic at the University of Regensburg, Germany, and has published numerous articles and book chapters on the topic. In this book, he shares his expertise and provides a concise guide for clinical examinations of musculoskeletal disorders with a multi-level diagnostic concept. The approach used is one that can be used in daily clinical routine and is time and cost-effective.

One thing that sets this book apart from other orthopedic books is that it includes numerous instructional videos to aid understanding. The videos help reinforce the concepts taught in the book, making it easier to follow and apply the techniques discussed. The examination techniques described in the book are broken down into detail and are easy to follow. The book also offers a systematic approach to screening for musculoskeletal disorders, which can help a physician narrow down potential diagnoses.

What’s more, the documentation of the examinations can be done using pen and paper or electronically. The electronic documentation also allows the creation of personalized reports, which could be shared with patients or other healthcare professionals.

Overall, the book’s content is well-structured, precise, and useful for physicians. Its emphasis on a detailed diagnostic concept for musculoskeletal disorders is thought-provoking. It is an excellent reference book for physicians, particularly those in primary care or occupational medicine, who deal with patients presenting joint, bone, or spine problems.

In conclusion, the Muskel-Skelett-Untersuchungen book by Joachim Grifka is an essential read for primary care physicians and occupational physicians. The techniques discussed are well-researched, making them accurate and easy to follow. Additionally, the inclusion of instructional videos brings a fresh perspective to the teaching of orthopedic medicine. The structured approach to the screening of musculoskeletal disorders and the creation of personalized reports make the book unique. I strongly recommend this book to all physicians who deal with musculoskeletal disorders. The book is available for digital download with an ISBN: 978-3662666746.

Ordering it today would be the best decision you can make to enhance your practice, improve patient outcomes, and earn your patients’ trust and satisfaction.
