Summary:

Understanding the musculoskeletal system's anatomy and basic science-combined with fundamental principles of evaluation and treatment-will successfully guide nearly all diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in orthopaedics.

It was Dr. Netter's belief that a medical illustration is of little value if it fails to provide an understanding of its clinical application. The hundreds of Netter's own illustrations, along with the contemporary work of his successors, particularly John A. Craig, MD, and Carlos A. G. Machado, MD, continue to emphasize Netter's philosophy that the job of medical illustrations is to clarify rather than intimidate.

Netter's Orthopaedics makes an excellent text reference for all who need a meticulous guide to musculoskeletal anatomy and clinical conditions.
