Reginald A. Elson (TRN), Jacques Guyot Atlas of Human Limb Joints

Annotation

In this work, the author provides the most complete description of human limb joints available today. His presentation is divided into 2 parts. The first part contains a summary of the functional anatomy of each of the joints. The second part is devoted to the pictorial illustration of the joints, consisting of photographs, drawings and diagrams of meticulously prepared dissections of the ligamentous structures surrounding the joints as well as the joints themselves. From the reviews of the first edition: "...of great importance and interest for anatomists, surgeons, specialists in sports medicine and physiotherapists, and departmental libraries must include this book. The quality of dissections, photographs and artistic diagrams must be seen to be believed. The book is higly recommended and will be of great delight to those concerned with the function and surgery of joints." The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery#1
