From the publisher

Essential Orthopaedics (Including Clinical Methods), 8/E by Maheshwari and Mhaskar is a comprehensive, exam-oriented undergraduate orthopedics textbook, thoroughly revised across all chapters as per the new NMC (2024) Competency-Based Medical Education curriculum. Now a genuine 'all-in-one' resource, this edition folds clinical examination methods directly into the book and adds dedicated annexures for Review Questions, Case Scenario-based Questions, and Previous Year Questions from NEET PG and INI-CET, making it equally useful as a core teaching text and an active entrance-exam revision tool.

The book spans 39 chapters covering the full breadth of orthopedics: fracture principles and healing, splints/tractions and modern fracture-treatment advances (AO method, functional bracing, Ilizarov's technique), region-by-region traumatology (shoulder through foot), joint infections and bone/joint tuberculosis, pediatric and congenital conditions (CTEV, CDH), neuromuscular disorders, bone tumours, spinal disorders and deformities, arthritis and degenerative disease, soft-tissue affections, and metabolic bone disease — followed by annexures on Clinical Methods, Orthopaedic Terminology, and exam-focused question banks.

Every chapter follows a consistent, high-yield structure: bolded section headers (Relevant Anatomy, Pathoanatomy, Diagnosis, Treatment, Complications), clearly labeled diagrams and X-rays (a number newly replaced in this edition for clarity), a boxed chapter-end Summary, and a distinct boxed 'Additional information: From the entrance exams point of view' section in every chapter — plus QR codes at the start of each chapter linking to chapter-summary and examination-guidance videos via the Dr Wise AI chatbot and Diginerve platform (video lectures, question bank, notes).

• UG Medical Students: as the core final-year (Final Prof) orthopedics textbook, fully aligned to the revised NMC CBME curriculum.
• NEET PG Aspirants: via dedicated Previous Year Question annexures and an entrance-exam-focused box in every single chapter.
• INI-CET Aspirants: via the same PYQ annexures, explicitly covering INI-CET alongside NEET PG.
• Medical Residents: the new Clinical Methods annexure extends the book's usefulness beyond UG study into ward-level clinical examination reference.

• One book for learning and exam prep: combines core UG teaching content with NEET PG/INI-CET-specific PYQs and case scenarios, reducing the need for separate revision books.
• Consistent, scannable chapter structure: every chapter follows the same anatomy-to-treatment framework with boxed summaries, making high-volume revision faster.
• Curriculum-current: comprehensively revised as per NMC's 2024 CBME curriculum, keeping content aligned with what is actually being examined.
• Digital-linked learning: QR-coded video lectures and an AI chatbot (Dr Wise) extend the printed content into guided video revision.
• Clinical Methods built in: a dedicated annexure turns the same book into a bedside/clinical-examination reference, not just an exam-prep text.

• 39 chapters covering the complete UG orthopedics syllabus, thoroughly revised as per the NMC (2024) CBME curriculum
