Physical examination in orthopaedics - A. Graham Apley

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.
