Main description:

Rheumatology of the Upper Limbs in Clinical Practice is a comprehensive and easy-to-use training tool for practitioners to refine their strategy for clinical investigation and differential diagnosis in regional syndromes of the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand.

It combines instructive sections, providing anatomical information and various causes of particular symptoms. Case studies recreate the clinical setting by presenting the details of the case and giving an opportunity for the reader to make a diagnosis.

The text is lavishly illustrated in full color, with detailed photos of patient examinations, complemented by radiographs and full color line illustrations. The text also benefits from the use of summaries using colored boxing to identify key points in diagnosis and management.

Written by two of the biggest and most respected clinicians in the discipline, this book will be essential reading for rheumatologists in practice and training.
