Musculoskeletal Examination, 3/E for Orthopedic Residents and Surgeons | Region-wise Clinical Examination Proformas, Named Special Tests and Diagnostic Snippets with Free Clinical Videos: 1

Musculoskeletal Examination, 3/E is a structured, pictorial guide to clinical evaluation in orthopedics, built around history-taking, systematic joint-by-joint physical examination, and named special tests. This third edition, from orthopedic surgeon-educators Vivek Pandey and Hitesh Shah of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, keeps its signature simplistic, structured teaching approach across 17 chapters and 668 pages, moving from the basics of orthopedic history-taking and examination through acute polytrauma, chronic bone and joint disease, and evaluation of every major joint, the spine, peripheral nerves, and brachial plexus injury. Each test is described in a standard method-plus-rationale format and paired with a self-explanatory clinical photograph, and most tests are additionally demonstrated in video form, redeemable through a QR code inside the book. Diagnostic snippets placed right after the history section point toward a quick provisional diagnosis, and every region/system chapter closes with its own examination proforma for rapid recapitulation, followed by a standardized round-up of the common conditions seen in that region. Beyond joint examination, the book extends into pediatric evaluation of cerebral palsy, gait analysis, amputation stump assessment, bone tumor evaluation, and examination of swelling, scar, sinus, and ulcer, giving it the range of a complete orthopedic clinical-methods reference rather than a single-topic manual. Who This Book Is For: Orthopedic Postgraduates (MS/DNB): structures long-case and clinical viva preparation around per-joint proformas and standardized findings. Orthopedic Residents: builds systematic, step-by-step examination technique for every major joint, the spine, and peripheral nerves during clinical postings. Orthopedic Surgeons: works as a quick chair-side refresher on named special tests and their interpretation across the full range of joint and nerve examinations. PG Teaching Faculty: gives a standardized, video-linked format for demonstrating and assessing examination technique in postgraduate teaching. Why This Book Helps: Turns technique into a repeatable routine: the region-wise examination proforma tells you exactly what to check, in what order, for every joint. Removes guesswork from special tests: each named test carries its method, rationale, and interpretation side by side with a photograph. Speeds up provisional diagnosis: diagnostic snippets after history-taking flag the likely diagnosis before you even begin the physical exam. Extends learning beyond the page: QR-linked videos let you watch standard clinical tests performed exactly as described in text. Covers the full clinical spectrum: from acute trauma and chronic joint disease to spine, nerve, pediatric, and oncologic evaluation, in one reference. Key Features: 17 chapters covering history-taking, all major joints, the spine, peripheral nerves, brachial plexus injury (adult and newborn), cerebral palsy, gait, amputation stump, bone tumors, and swelling/scar/sinus/ulcer examination Named special tests (e.g., Gagey's hyperabduction test, Anterior drawer test, Belly press and Belly-off tests, Bear-hug test) described with method, rationale, and interpretation Free clinical examination videos accessible via in-book QR code for most standard tests Region-wise examination proforma for structured recapitulation at the end of every joint/system chapter Diagnostic snippets after history-taking and standardized common-conditions summaries closing every chapter
