Fracture Management for Primary Care Review

I'm family medicine trained and have worked in primary care and urgent care.

I was a fan of the first edition; it helped me decide which injuries to refer and helped me successfully manage others myself. I recommended it to others and bought the second edition, which gets used a lot in our clinic.

So far, the third edition in kindle form looks good; it appears to be as user-friendly as the print version.
