FROM THE CRITICS Dennis Mess This is one of a ten-volume series providing an in-depth surgical technique atlas. Each technique is presented by an acknowledged master. The stated purpose is to help the practitioner deal with common surgical problems. The target audience is orthopedic surgeons and residents. This book is loaded with exquisite drawings and color intraoperative photos that provide a step by step surgical instruction manual. The section on local muscle flaps in most helpful. This volume is far and away the best of its type. I have seen many similar books but this is the ""master.""
