The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has released the twelfth edition of OKU (Orthopaedic Knowledge Update), the authoritative and indispensable guide on general and specialty orthopaedics that also is a key tool in preparing for Board certification and recertification.
First published in 1984, the completely new OKU 12 (not a revision of OKU 11) is available in print, eBook or flash drive formats. The new edition features the most up-to-date research and clinical information from the past three years.
The book is organised in six sections, and covers all the general content areas within orthopaedics. The format is designed to conveniently provide answers and clinical information to practicing orthopaedists, and to serve as an efficient source for first-time certification or Maintenance of Certification (MOC) preparation. The MOC guidelines, developed by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, requires 120 credits of Continuing Medical Education (CME) every three years, including 20 credits from a Scored and Recorded Self-Assessment Examination (SAE) activity. The OKU, paired with the Scored and Recorded OKU 12 SAE, qualifies for up to 70 AMA PRA Category 1 CME CreditsTM. Twenty of those credits can be applied to the Scored and Recorded SAE requirement for MOC.
Customers can choose from the hard copy book, eBook, or the book and eBook package, and all can be purchased with the online SAE. Also available for purchase are the eight individual specialty volumes (with no overlap with the general OKU 12), as well as OKU 1-12 (available in an eBook edition or on a USB drive) providing all of the OKU content from the editions 1 through 12.
