Hospital for Special Surgery Manual of Rheumatology and Outpatient Orthopedic Disorders

Diagnosis and Therapy
Fifth Edition - 11/05

Edited by:
Stephen A. Paget, MD

John F. Beary, III, MD
Thomas P. Sculco, MD

This remarkable manual celebrates publication of its fifth edition this year. Innovations in diagnosis, therapeutics, and management strategies that have emerged in the four years since the last edition make this update timely. The succinct, authoritative, and didactic style of presenting the rationale and practical information in this publication will doubtless continue to assist and guide physicians in their clinical practice.

The scope of the book is comprehensive, covering the full spectrum of therapy and practice of rheumatology. The broad church of the specialty covered extends to regional pain syndromes, fibromyalgia, diseases of bone, sports injuries, and the principles and practice of surgery and rehabilitation. New chapters in the general sections cover not only immunology, genomics, and proteomics, but also ethical and legal issues, and psychological aspects of rheumatic disease.
