Clinical Orthopaedic Diagnosis, 5/E for Orthopedic Postgraduates, Residents and Surgeons | Region-wise Clinical Examination Guide with Key Diagnostic Points, Clinical Photographs and Imaging: 1

Clinical Orthopaedic Diagnosis, 5th Edition is a fully revised and updated, globally recognized reference (previously published in Japanese, American, and Spanish editions) on the clinical examination and diagnosis of orthopedic conditions. Across 720 pages and 25 chapters, it takes readers region by region through the musculoskeletal system, providing a detailed description of the relevant clinical anatomy for each region in a simple, lucid manner before moving into examination technique. The book is organized by anatomical region and clinical scenario: an introductory chapter on history-taking, documentation, and patient/pediatric/elderly examination; examination of long bones and joints; region-specific chapters on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, spine, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, and foot; dedicated chapters on low backache, examination of paralytic patients, peripheral nerve injuries, and bone tumours; a chapter on the mandible and temporomandibular joint; gross examination protocols for head injury, chest injuries, and the abdomen; and a substantial imaging section covering how to read an X-ray plate, MRI, CT, ultrasonography, scintigraphy, and fusion imaging. It closes with chapters on syndromes related to orthopedics and traumatology (including compartment syndrome and COVID toe syndrome) and leg ulcers. Each regional chapter follows a consistent structure - anatomical considerations, examination methodology, movements, measurements, relevant special tests, and required investigations - and closes with a "Key Diagnostic Points" summary that condenses the chapter's common pathologies for quick memorization and revision. Who This Book Is For: Orthopedic Postgraduates (MS/DNB): a region-wise clinical examination and diagnosis reference that mirrors how orthopedic cases are worked up and presented in postgraduate training and exams. Orthopedic Residents: a structured methodology for reaching a diagnosis by elimination, built for the bedside and the clinical ward round. Orthopedic Surgeons and Healthcare Professionals: a quick-reference clinical resource for confirming examination technique and diagnostic points across the full range of orthopedic presentations. Why This Book Helps: Speeds up clinical diagnosis: the "Key Diagnostic Points" feature at the end of every chapter is built specifically to help clinicians reach a diagnosis quickly. Teaches a method, not just facts: a consistent examination methodology per region helps trainees and residents learn the process of diagnosis by elimination rather than memorizing isolated findings. Covers the whole diagnostic workflow: from clinical anatomy and physical examination through to advanced imaging (MRI, CT, ultrasonography, scintigraphy), so the reader is not left switching between separate examination and imaging texts. Supports rapid exam revision: the chapter-end summaries and region-by-region format let students and examinees revise the subject quickly before clinical exams. Reflects current practice: the revised edition adds coverage of contemporary syndromes such as COVID toe syndrome alongside established orthopedic and traumatology syndromes. Key Features: 25 chapters spanning region-wise orthopedic examination from long bones and joints through to the spine, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. "Key Diagnostic Points" summary box at the end of each regional chapter to memorize common conditions. Clear, concise clinical photographs of orthopedic conditions and deformities throughout, plus paired pre- and post-corrective clinical images. Dedicated chapters on peripheral nerve injuries, bone tumours, and examination of paralytic patients, including a proforma to record muscle power. A full advanced diagnostic imaging chapter covering X-ray reading, MRI, CT/CAT scan, ultrasonography, scintigraphy, and fusion imaging.
