Netter's Orthopaedic Clinical Examination: An Evidence-Based Approach

Netter's Orthopaedic Clinical Examination: An Evidence-Based Approach, by Joshua Cleland and Shane Koppenhaver, helps you apply best practices to get the most clinically significant information from each physical examination. Classic Netter artwork and anatomy/biomechanics tables provide a handy anatomy and pathophysiology overview, while an evidence-based approach helps you focus on the examination techniques, tests, and measures that have been proven to yield the most meaningful diagnostic findings.

Netter images and discussions of anatomy and biomechanics enhance your understanding of the orthopedic anatomy and pathology of each joint.

A "Summary and Recommendations" table in each chapter helps you review the available clinical evidence at a glance.

An assessment of study quality (QUADAS) appendix and icons identifying study quality draw your attention to top quality studies and help you understand why some studies were included and others omitted.

A scale added to reliability tables makes it easy to focus on approaches and tests with the highest reliability.

A concise tabular approach to terminology and statistics makes terms and equations easier to understand.

Information has been organized to parallel the structure of a clinical orthopedic examination.
