well there are fresh news...I have sent e-mail to Elsevier publications about the first-mentioned book "CLINICAL ORTHOPEDIC REHABILITATION" by Brotzman and Wilk and i was told that the new edition is planned at March 2011..that means in a year from now...I think its better after all to by the "handbook" and then wait for the fresh copy in 13 months (hope that the world will not have been devasted by any asteroid..)
