Anatomy of the Upper and Lower Limbs: A Pocket Guide

By Andrew Zbar

This book offers an easy-to-follow technique to better appreciate the regional anatomy and provides a concise, accessible, and well-illustrated pocket book. It is aimed principally at undergraduate and postgraduate students of anatomy in a wide range of fields that includes medicine and the paramedical specialties such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, orthotists, biological sciences, dentistry, and paramedics as well as postgraduate training surgeons (in all specialties), radiologists and interventional ER doctors.

This volume focuses on the anatomical homology between the upper and lower limbs in an attempt to create an easier learning process. Given similarities (and differences) in the development of the limbs, lessons can be learned about how to structure the muscular and neurovascular anatomy of the different compartments. The book offers a contextualized and grounded teaching which explains why the anatomy learned matters and which helps to incorporate relevant developmental and comparative anatomy that is placed in an historical context. This book changes the way anatomy is taught using a short, practical guide to cover specific body regions.
