The Musculoskeletal System

DESCRIPTION

The Musculoskeletal System is an anatomy reference and revision guide, combining detailed illustrations with a strong clinical focus, to allow an easier correlation between anatomy and practice. Illustrated with over 100 anatomical/clinical images and hand-drawn illustrations, and separated in manageable sections by anatomical area, this book provides a compact and complete account of the body’s complex system of bones and muscles whilst also considering joints, ligaments, and innervation.

Key features include:

• Clinical scenarios of the most common bone and muscle-related clinical scenarios
• Over 100 anatomical illustrations presented alongside clinical photographs and scans, many in full colour
• Almost 50 colouring templates in a ‘Test Yourself!’ section at the end of the book
• Additional online learning features including a full selection of interactive exam-style Questions and Answers, unlimited access to a full range of colouring image templates, and almost 300 clinical photographs in an image bank
• Key Pointers and mnemonics at the end of each chapter to aid revision and learning

The Musculoskeletal System is aimed at medical students, on both the standard 5-year and the accelerated 4-year graduate-entry course, and to junior doctors and SHO's/residents in training. It also appeals to related specialties, including sport science, physiology, and biomedical science; in addition to the wider scientific audience.

Endorsed by St George’s, University of London.
