Im looking for a surgery reference book and have been recommended 2 but I can only afford one as they are expensive, so which would be the best one to get? The 2 books are:

1. Surgery of the Foot and Ankle by Coughlin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Surgery-Foo...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233943535&sr=8-2

2. McGlamry's Comprehensive Textbook of Foot and Ankle Surgery
http://www.amazon.co.uk/McGlamrys-C...r_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233943535&sr=8-16

All opinions welcome

 

Have you seen this one?

Practices of Podiatric Medicine Second Edition.


31% of this book is on surgery. You can even view chapter 17 in its entirety.

McGlamry's is the bible. IMHO.

Re: Best surgery reference book

...the HOLY bible at that!!! McG sitting next to Davidson's Principals and Practices of Medicine and flanked by Yocham & Rowe Radiology make up the Holy Trinity.

^^^^ wot he said!

 

Re: Best surgery reference book

I don't know how any holy trinity of podiatric-related texts cannot include;

Fundamentals of Pedicure and Nail Polish Application, by Sinnical & Lying

I'm sure our GP friends think that is all that we need on our shelves...

Re: Best surgery reference book

I hide that one under my desk, just like the Orthopods do with McGlamrys!!!!!

 

Mc Glamry is the undisputed best textbook ever. Picked mine up from amazon for £220 approx 7 years ago.
Whilst not being surgical based myself, it covers most foot/ankle pathology in great depth thus is useful for Dx purposes

 

I did buy McGlamrys and they are excellent text books, I managed to get both textbooks for £100 on amazon and would thoroughly recommend them
