OKU 10 is a trusted resource you can count on to refresh your knowledge, keep up-to-date with what's new in your specialty, and help you prepare for first-time certification or Maintenance of Certification (MOC™).

OKU 10 offers completely new content and many improved features:

• • New chapters on today's most relevant topics, including: Patient Safety and Risk Management, New Techniques of      Wound Management, Patient-Centered Care: Communication Skills and Cultural Competency, and Practice Management.
• • High quality black and white and full-color images (as available) vividly illustrate the sequence of a procedure and recovery.
• • Annotated references at the end of each chapter provide concise summaries of source material, saving you countless      research hours.
• • Levels of evidence provided (as available) for references from the past three years.

Combine Orthopaedic Knowledge Update with the Tarascon Pocket Orthopaedica companion title for an indispensable ready reference duo at point of care.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"Because of the frequency of publication, OKU 10 has the advantage of more recent editing and a focus on the latest information and accepted principles. "I think it is the single most important publication for orthopaedic surgeons in training or in practice."

-- Dr. Flynn, MD (Editor OKU 10)

"In the tradition of previous Orthopaedic Knowledge Updates, this one is an outstanding reference on general orthopedics that will be a great help to residents in training for review of the most recent concepts in the management of orthopedic disorders."

--Riad Barmada, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
