Clinical Surface AnatomyA thorough knowledge of surface anatomy is essential to the diagnosis and management of patients. Physical and clinical examination, the planning of surgical approaches, the application of regional anaesthesia, and physiotherapy of joints, muscles, and ligaments all depend on the ability to visualise and assess what lies and functions beneath the skin--simply by looking at, touching, and manipulating surface features. Clinical Surface Anatomy, Second Edition, uses a unique and stunning collection of photographs to illustrate the surface landmarks of human anatomy--bony points, superficial muscles, tendons, and veins. The position of deeper structures and their relationship to the surface are shown using clear and unobtrusive diagrams superimposed onto the photographs. The concise text describes the anatomy, its function, and clinical relevance. This second edition of Clinical Surface Anatomy is an invaluable reference and revision aid in surface anatomy for medical students, paramedics, nurses, and allied health professionals. High-quality color photographs highlight the surface features and position of the underlying anatomy. Fifty new photographs feature better muscle illustration. Careful labeling of images aids identification of surface features. |
