Summary: "Clinical knowledge presented in conjunction with anatomy is increasingly important earlier and earlier in the study of medicine. This has been further strengthened in this edition with the inclusion of about 30 new two-page spreads across the book devoted to - osteoarthritis of the hip joint, - compression syndromes of peripheral nerves, - conduction anesthesia of peripheral nerves, - shoulder arthroscopy and degenerative changes of the shoulder joint, - functions of individual muscles and the symptoms associated with shortening or weakening of these muscles, and - diagnostic imaging of the large joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, and the hip, knee, and ankle. In addition, we have added spreads on important foundational information on the common imaging planes for plain film, MRI, and CT scans, the structure of skeletal muscle fibers, the structure and chemical composition of hyaline cartilage, and the regeneration of peripheral nerves. We have also checked, corrected, and updated all the information in this atlas. This atlas emphasizes the correlations between physiologic changes in the course of life, the frequency of certain pathologic phenomena, and effective diagnostics while teaching the anatomy, better preparing students to treat patients with musculoskeletal diseases when they meet them in the clinic or in practice"--Provided by publisher.
