scope:

The Musculoskeletal System is an anatomy reference and revision guide combining detailed illustrations with a strong clinical focus to allow an easier correlation between anatomy and practice.

This highly illustrated guide, separated in manageable sections by anatomical area, provides a compact and complete account of the body's complex system of bones and muscles whilst also considering joints, ligaments, and innervation.

Key features include:

• Clinical scenarios of the most common bone and muscle-related cases
• Over 100 anatomical illustrations and clinical photographs, many in full colour
• Over 40 templates in a 'Test Yourself!' colouring atlas
• Key Pointers and mnemonics at the end of each chapter to aid revision and learning
• Additional online learning features including a full selection of interactive exam-style Questions and Answers, unlimited access to a full range of colouring templates, and almost 300 clinical photographs in an image bank

The Musculoskeletal System is aimed at medical students, on both the standard 5-year and the accelerated 4-year graduate-entry course, and to junior doctors and residents in training or approaching surgical examinations. It also appeals to related specialties, including sport science, physiology, and biomedical science; in addition to the wider scientific audience.
