Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good but not the best
Good but not the best. Does have a lot of info, though some of it is wrong and/or incomplete. If you're only going to get one, get "The Purple Book." The format of this book is pretty dense, more like the way MD's present info. The Purple Book is set up in a question/answer format and is more user friendly. I did use Hand Secrets when studying to pass the CHT exam in 2006, and occasionally reference it still. Good x-ray pics.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must for your orthopaedic hand rotation
Provides the answers to commonly asked questions that one wouldencounter on an ortho hand rotation. My friend who is going into ahand fellowship also finds it very useful.
