Suggestions for a good textbook on the ward managment of the orthopaedic patient?

[Geneeskunde]

Hello,

I'm starting my orthopaedics pre-specialisation in Belgium in a few months. The evaluation during the pre-specialisation greatly determines wether I will be granted a placement in the orthopaedics program. During my medical training I've had a 3 month rotation in different surgical subspecialties. This was mainly limited to assisting in theatre or doing consultations and as such I don't feel well prepared to manage surgical patients on the ward. I would like to brush up on ward managment for surgical or even specifically orthopaedic patients and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on good textbooks on this topic?

Thanks in advance
