Cadaver Dissection with Clinical Applications

Cadaver Dissection with Clinical Applications is written for students in a professional program that have been given the privilege of dissecting their own cadaver. It discusses dissection techniques, what structures to look for in a particular region and various pitfalls to avoid in the process. The Manual also relates regional anatomical structures with clinical relevance by listing various syndromes, relevant orthopaedic tests, selected X-ray findings and associated pathologies that relate to the region being dissected. It is a terrific resource for all students who will one day see patients in a clinical setting, by first learning anatomical relevance on a cadaver.
