General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System, 2e (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy) (THIEME Atlas of Anatomy, 1)

Praise for the first edition: __The impressive nature of these atlases cannot be overstated...the illustrations...are unique and should be considered real works of art__. -- **Journal of the American Medical Association** __The authors are to be congratulated on their valuable contribution to both PT and OT literature. This series will be especially helpful to the student of physical therapy or occupational therapy__. -- **ADVANCE for Physical Therapy Rehab Medicine** __THIEME Atlas of Anatomy: General Anatomy and Musculoskeletal System, Second Edition__ is an ideal educational tool for anyone studying anatomy with a focus on the musculoskeletal system. Each anatomic region is presented in a manner that builds understanding: starting with bones, joints, and muscles, followed by vasculature and innervation, and concluding with topographic illustrations to bring it all together. This atlas begins with a concise overview of development, surface anatomy, anatomic terminology, body systems, and the structure of bones, joints, muscles, and the nerves that innervate them. Key Features: * Expanded coverage of tissue structure and development, functional testing, diagnostic imaging, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system * Exquisite full-color illustrations with clear, thorough labeling and descriptive captions * Innovative, user-friendly format in which each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic * Hundreds of clinical applications integrated into the anatomic descriptions, emphasizing the vital link between anatomic structure and function * Summary tables that are ideal for rapid review * Access to WinkingSkull.com PLUS, with over 500 images from the book for "labels-on and labels-off" review and timed self-tests The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy series also features **Neck and Internal Organs** and **Head and Neuroanatomy**. Each atlas is available in softcover. "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
