This second edition is a concise guide to clinical assessment and examination in orthopaedics. Beginning with an introduction to history taking and clinical examination, the following chapters discusses the examination of different parts of the body. Each chapter discusses clinical diagnostic tests relevant to the specific region, as well as common conditions, symptoms and signs. With almost 250 illustrations on demonstration techniques and clinical pictures with diagnosis and examination techniques, this new edition sets out the sequence of examination in a more practical, step by step way than the previous edition.

Orthopedic Clinical Examination With Web Resource provides readers with fundamental knowledge for developing proficiency at performing orthopedic evaluations and diagnosing conditions. Michael P. Reiman, who is internationally respected for his teaching, clinical practice, and research focused on orthopedic assessment and treatment methods, presents an evidence-based guide on the process of conducting tests and making diagnoses.

It’s always been said, "Children are not young adults," and the examination of a child needs to be conducted with emphasis on the physiologic differences in a growing child. Clinical Orthopedic Examination of a Child focuses on pediatric examination, a topic not much explored in the regular orthopedic texts. A child’s difficulty in verbally expressing his symptoms needs to be kept in mind during the examination, thus the examining surgeon has to be very observant in picking up even minor details that could help in diagnosis. This book serves as an essential companion to orthopedic surgeons, general practitioners, and professionals as well as being a welcome addition in pediatric orthopedic clinics. Key Features Reviews an unexplored topic of Pediatric Orthopedic examination with comprehensive clarity Has an algorithmic approach with step-by-step descriptions, complete with illustrations Provides helpful tips and insights to orthopedic surgeons, professionals, and trainees for accurate diagnosis and treatment

CASES postgraduate students have a lot to remember and revise in their final stages of exam preparation and, consequently, during their crucial practical examinations are unable to precisely answer what an examiner expects for a particular case scenario. Recreating the examination hall scenario and simulating what transpires during those few hours between the student and the examiners is the main aim of this book. The 60 long and short cases, along with a chapter on goniometry, form the content of this book. Chapters include many relevant photographs and X-rays which help in understanding the difficult concepts. Each chapter is a condensation of cardinal information required to be presented in the examination. The book will serve as a valuable resource for presenting cases during the routine ward rounds or teaching sessions to both the postgraduates and the faculty. The book will find relevance when the readers understand what exactly the faculty or the examiner expects and learn to highlight crucial clinical findings which will clinch the case for them. This is demonstrated in various sections of the chapters which start with actual case scenarios, describe the core clinical findings, how exactly to articulate the final diagnosis with points in favour, formulate the management, and outline the principles of treatment. A must for every student striving to clear his postgraduate examination in orthopedics with zen and confidence.

This manual discusses clinical assessment and examination in orthopaedics. It is aimed at undergraduates and orthopaedic trainees, and details techniques of examination for the different regions. There are short notes of clinical findings on common disease conditions at the end of each chapter.

Physical Examination in Orthopaedics is a concise colour illustrated book structured around the three-stage system of examination - LOOK, FEEL and MOVE - advocated by the authors. In recognition of the importance of the positioning of both examiner and patient at every stage, the text is fully illustrated on a point-by-point basis with colour figures. These feature the authors as examiners, and each chapter contains both examination technique details and actual examples of abnormalities that may occur. The chapters are based on examination of specific parts of the body, taking a systematic approach. Extremely clear and easy to use, the text has been designed so that the reader can quickly refer to the specific area of interest.
