(For context, I am a third year medical student at a Canadian University)
Used this book in conjunction with the Ortho section of Toronto Notes 2013 to prep for my shelf exam.
This was a decent book, providing an ok background in general ortho topics and provides JUST enough detail (ie probably not enough) to give you a baseline to work with, and was a quick read. However, I found it to be frustrating sometimes as it didn't give much detail on management of some problems.
If I had to do things over again I'd probably just focus on the Ortho Case Files book.
