Clinical Anatomy: Applied Anatomy for Students and Junior Doctors

Every two or three pages, clearly highlighted text boxes detail clinical features relevant to the anatomical structures described (as explaining, for example, the Trendlenburg's test in the context of the hip joint; or of how surgical access is gained in a conventional posterolateral thoracotomy in the context of intercostal spaces). Anatomical structures are also presented in tandem with a description of their physiological functions (such as the movements of respiration under the heading of 'Diaphragm'). This makes Clinical Anatomy a book of instruction, helping students and readers to scaffold their anatomical knowledge and, importantly, their clinical acumen.
