RealWorld Orthopaedics is your ultimate guide to the basics of musculoskeletal medicine.

This app features more than 50 chapters covering the most frequent and important diagnoses of the field, including fractures, dislocations, and degenerative diseases. The chapters are divided into sections discussing basic mechanisms of injury, diagnostic criteria and classifications, differential diagnosis as well as management. The chapters are fully illustrated using high-quality plates from Grays Anatomy, original illustrations and original photographs.

RealWorld Orthopaedics is also the best musculoskeletal radiology resource on the App Store! Not only can you see radiographs of every discussed disease, all radiologic findings can be highlighted right on the X-ray. Explore more than 150 real cases each containing:
- Clinical information regarding the patient and the mechanism of injury
- High-resolution X-rays
- All appropriate series (anteroposterior, lateral, oblique, etc.)
- Detailed radiologic interpretation
- Drawings of every radiological finding right on the X-ray
- Pre and postoperative controls

Test your knowledge with the quiz mode, where the radiographs are presented in random order, or access a case directly either by diagnosis (e.g. Galeazzi fracture, rhumatoid artitis) or by actual radiological finding (e.g. linear hypodensity, plate and screws, irregular joint surface).

By being both a radiology resource and a comprehensive clinical reference, RealWorld Orthopaedics is your must-have app for quick review on the wards, or at home.

Great ortho app - 5 stars
by miwwiw - Version 2.0.0 - Mar 21, 2012 - Australia iTunes Store

Very easy to use app, best ortho app in the apple store. Great for anyone on a orthopaedic surg attachment wanting a good source of X-rays along with highlights of abnormalities plus full explanations & background info. [...] Definitely worth the $$, looking forward to future updates.

A compact, high quality atlas of skeletal radiological appearances - 5 stars
by jepho - Version 1.0.0 - 31 March 2011 - UK iTunes Store

A fantastic job! This is a great reference work for anyone interested in seeing real examples of diagnostic imaging for skeletal trauma and disease. The viewer is a joy to use [...] I have no hesitation in recommending this application very highly. [...] It will probably replace my battered copy of Orthopaedic Radiology (Long and Rafert) [...] This seminal work deserves to be on every clinicians iPhone. At this minimal cost, they have no excuse for not purchasing this application. I predict that it will become a classic.

Pros and cons of RealWorld Orthopaedics app for iPhone and iPad

RealWorld Orthopaedics app good for

This application is a must for anybody interrested in orthopedics. Whether you are a doctor, medical student, nurse or simply curious you will appreciate it. 5$ very well spent!

Im a french medical student and this is the kind of app Im looking forward to. It is complete, intuitive and very easy to use... and I just love the look of it ! Plus, it is one of the rare bilingual (french/english) medical app that you can find out there. Definitely worth the price. So, I would say that this is a great start and I just hope that we will be able to see more of these that would cover some other parts of radiology besides orthopaedics. Bon travail !!

Some bad moments

I am a medical device sales professional and this app has been great for me. The more you look at X-rays, the better you are at reading them and on top of it. This app really helped me solidify my knowledge of the skeletal anatomy. If you deal with any type of fracture management, this is a must have. A lot of value for the price.

I always have trouble locating fractures and injuries to the skeletal system on Radiographs. This app has really helped me out. There are good examples that allow you to look for the fracture and the click on the list to highlight where it is. A lot of content and a large number of X-rays with different views. This is a good way to gain experience without having to wait to see the in the ER. Thanks

In training you may or may not have exposure to good films all the time. This app is helping me look for the signs of a good film and also helping me interpret and describe anatomical changes due to injury/deformity/surgery. If you like film but arent getting the exposure you want in training then this is a nice well designed module with interactive aspects making the diagnosis specific and intelligent. I would pay $20 for the amount of film that is covered in this app.

Going to echo other positive comments. As a review, study aid, etc very useful. Even have open during the odd fracture conference as a reference. Thanks for the work that has gone into this App I use it every week!

This app is great but has not been updated since 2012. They need to invest in an update to make this optimized for iPhone 5 displays.

As a current radiology resident in training, I can attest to the educational value of this application. It has a flawless interface, sleek high res visuals, as well as clear, comprehensive educational value. I was hesitant about the price point, but I would say its well worth the price. I hope this company continues to produce educational radiology apps of this caliber.
