While searching for information on a specific type of fracture, I found the beta version of Google Scholar. It is worth a look. From the site, and explanation:
What is Google Scholar?

Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.
It's worth a look.
