Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Fifth Edition provides first-year medical and allied health students with the clinically oriented anatomical information that they need in study and practice. This book is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of anatomy, presented as it relates to the practice of medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy. This latest edition is fully updated with new content and additional features, including new surface anatomy and updated diagnostic images, new "Bottom Line" summaries that reinforce important concepts, and new clinical "Blue" boxes. Two bound-in CD-ROMs contain interactive case studies, USMLE-style review questions, and layered, rotatable anatomical illustrations generated from three-dimensional models of MRI images.
This book is beautifully illustrated and includes figures from Grants's Atlas of Anatomy. Also includes, clinical comments, 'blue boxes', and diagnostic images. New case studies and discussions at the end of each chapter. The text was concise, lucid, and enjoyable to read, with pertinent and important clinical examples in the form of case presentations. The illustrations, on the other hand, are from Grant's atlas of anatomy, and occasionally are confusing or downright obfuscating (the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck come to mind). So, it’s recommended reading the text, but referring to Netter's atlas when referring to pictures!
This book gets right into anatomy. You really can learn, appreciate, enjoy and benefit from a lot of anatomy whether they've mastered those concepts yet or not. The "big picture" type knowledge gained from diving right in with a book like this should inspire many learners to go back and really learn the underlying chemistry and cell biology in more detail; more efficiently though because they know why they need to know it. The clinical focus of this text is another major plus, constantly reminding reader of the materials relevance. The illustrations and figures are excellent, and the text is well written and very clear. Highly recommended for students and teachers of anatomy, and anyone interested in learning. This is an excellent textbook of anatomy with good descriptions, decent drawings, good tables, and pretty good clinical correlations.
The problem with this book is that it is very wordy. Reading the entire chapters in this book was not that beneficial and not a good use of time. What was better was to read the condensed version "Essential Clinical Anatomy," skim the chapters in the big book for additional details and clinical correlations, and then use Netter, Grant, and/ or Rohen atlases for as supplements.
