Since its first publication, almost two decades ago, A System of Orthopaedic Medicine
has proven to be a reliable resource and guide for those clinicians
working in the field of orthopaedic medicine who assess and treat the
effects of musculoskeletal pain.
This third edition remains
focused on clinical reasoning and diagnosis, with detailed guidance on
palpation of the anatomical structures and the correct performance of
each therapeutic technique. Following the ‘System’, the clinician first
completes a systematic clinical assessment of the joints involved, and
then, after interpreting the results, groups the disorders and
conditions into clinical syndromes. Finally, the natural history and the
conservative treatment of each condition are discussed accordingly.
NEW! Building on the previous edition, A System of Orthopaedic Medicine
now comes with access to online resources designed to support and
enhance the learning experience of each and every clinician using the
book. The new edition has been streamlined for easier access and
handling by transferring all the applied anatomy chapters, references,
links and other selected chapters onto the online resources.
