I have the black version of Fractures in Adults as well as the accompanying single volume of Fractures in Children. Jupiter's Skeletal Trauma is also very good.

For hands, the two volume Green's Hand Surgery is standard.

But, the first thing I'd recommend before any of those is the Handbook of Fractures. Go there first, then to the larger books for more in-depth knowledge.

Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics (4-volumes) still gets occasional use from me as well. Had to dust it off yesterday to see where the myocutaneous flap from a hip disarticulation was supposed to come from.

Those 2 books are more about operating.

For the conservative care ( I.e. Casting), Sir John Charnley's book, "The Closed Treatment of Common Fractures", is probably the best book you can have on casting.

I have a copy from the 1960's which is not for sale, because it's fantastic.

Edit- oops replied to wrong message, which should have been the Rockwood and Green one.

Your books referenced are actually quite good, but IMHO not as good as Charnleys still.

When I worked with a sports med doc and we did minimal fracture cases, I didn't because we didn't use fluoro as much...but I switched to a new job that's mostly trauma and foot/ankle where we use TONS of it. So I bought some glasses.

I have these that I got on amazon - I like them because they're not super heavy and bulky on my face. They were about $100 cheaper when I bought them though...
