INTRODUCTION TO LIMB ARTHROLOGY (HB 2023) Hardcover

This book comprehensively explores the study of joints (arthrology), focusing particularly on the upper and lower limbs. It details how to examine each joint in both limbs, considering their basic structure and function. The text presents the necessary tests for joint and articulation examination, along with systematic methods for diagnosing related diseases and injuries, both generally and in specific cases. It also defines specialized tests for various situations and outlines precautions for examining patients of different ages or occupations. To make explanations clearer and enhance learning, the book features original photographs, many captured during clinical foot and ankle examinations or using models. These unique photographs come from experienced orthopedic surgeons and are published here for the first time. Additionally, some chapters include illustrative line diagrams to further clarify the information. This book aims to highlight the growing importance of joint-focused sub-specialties within orthopedics and will be a valuable resource for orthopedic surgeons preparing for examinations worldwide, as well as for sub-specialty joint exams.
