This is a highly illustrated colour guide to the physical signs, management and diagnosis of the more common musculoskeletal disorders written with non-hospital management in mind. Carefully structured, it is designed to enable rapid reference to all the information a busy practitioner needs to deal with rheumatological problems. Approaches to diagnosis, including the patterns of joint involvement in different diseases and the main elements of pathology open the book. Within the major section, each region of the body is dealt with in a practical, easy-to-use format. A slide atlas is also available.
