The book proceeds from the upper extremity to the lower extremities, proximal to distal. Rather than proceeding in systematic order, such as the name or cause of the disease, diagnosis, and treatment, it was organized in such a way as to first present a picture, ask a question, give it time to think, and then solve it. In diseases in which the cause is emphasized, the cause is dealt with, and in the part where the diagnosis is important, the diagnosis is dealt with in more detail, without strict rules.
Things that are difficult to compose in the form of a question are simply placed as explanations rather than fit into the format. More important or more common diseases, interesting things, and simple things are put first, and things that even orthopedic surgeons disagree with are introduced later. I tried to explain it with pictures and drawings as much as possible, but I will try my best to make sure that you can see the video material for things that are considered essential.

Sometimes rare diseases are also introduced with pictures. These are mainly things that help to understand the disease and are often diagnosed just by looking at the pictures. Even though it is not common, it is easy to remember things that are diagnosed immediately if you look at the photos.
Also, if you overlook something obvious in the photo, it's a pity, so it's good to know. It's like seeing things clearly in Chest PA is good to know even if you're not a physician, but if you don't see things that are too obvious, you're hurting your self-esteem as a doctor.

It was very difficult to come up with a title. I tried to express the typical symptoms and clinical features as a sub-title along with the title of the disease, which is the title of the disease. Rather, there are concerns that it may cause confusion or prejudice. Please don't take it too seriously, and think of it as arousing curiosity.
We boldly deleted content that could not be seen in primary care, and explained why it is important while dealing with things that are less likely to be seen but must be known. For example, in a chapter that discusses femoral neck fractures, we present the ambiguity of whether or not a fracture is a fracture rather than a distinct fracture. In the case of a clear fracture, there are few visits to the family medicine department, and since it is clear in the photograph, I tried to explain the ambiguous case and present a differentiating point.
