Volume 1: divided into 4 sections: General anatomy,

Trunk, Upper limb, Lower extremity.

Volume 2: Head, Eye, Ear, Neck, Brain and spinal cord.

Volume 3: Internal organs: Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis

and retroperitoneal space.

Booklet: 60 tables including 55 for the muscles and 5 for

the cranial nerves. The muscles are forwarded each one

with a diagram of localization, their origin, their termina-

tion and their function.

In the 3 volumes, each body or area is described in an

exhaustive way, with photographs, boards, terms to be

retained and clinical indication. These two paragraphs

make the work very attractive, by making a true

encyclopedia.

The work is addressed, of course, to all the medical

community—from the student to the experienced expert—

but will also interest, with its section of encyclopedic note,

all the readers interested in the complexity of the human

body. A true must for orthopaedic surgeons.

Conflict of interest None.
