Offering a concise, highly visual approach to the basic science and clinical pathology of the musculoskeletal system, this updated volume in The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations (the CIBA "Green Books") contains unparalleled didactic illustrations reflecting the latest medical knowledge. Revised by Drs. Joseph Iannotti, Richard Parker, and other experts from the Cleveland Clinic, The Upper Limb, Part 1 of Musculoskeletal System, Volume 6,integrates core concepts of anatomy, physiology, and other basic sciences with common clinical correlates across health, medical, and surgical disciplines. Classic Netter art, updated and new illustrations, and modern imaging continue to bring medical concepts to life and make this timeless work an essential resource for students, clinicians, and educators.
Provides a highly visual guide to the shoulder, upper arm and elbow, forearm and wrist, and hand and finger, from basic science and anatomy to orthopaedics and rheumatology
Covers new topics including surgical management of irreparable tears: supraspinatus and infraspinatus cuff, and subscapularis
Provides a concise overview of complex information by seamlessly integrating anatomical and physiological concepts using practical clinical scenarios
Shares the experience and knowledge of Drs. Joseph P. Iannotti, Richard D. Parker, and esteemed colleagues from the Cleveland Clinic, who clarify and expand on the illustrated concepts
Compiles Dr. Frank H. Netter’s master medical artistry—an aesthetic tribute and source of inspiration for medical professionals for over half a century—along with new art in the Netter tradition for each of the major body systems, making this volume a powerful and memorable tool for building foundational knowledge and educating patients or staff
