Clinical anatomy of the spine, spinal cord, and ANS


簡介(Book Description from Barnes and Noble):

With its unique clinical perspective and evidence-based coverage, Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS is the definitive reference for applying anatomic considerations to the evaluation and management of conditions of the spine and associated neural structures, including spinal impingement and subluxation. High-quality color illustrations and photographs, as well as abundant radiographs, CT, and MRI images, visually demonstrate specific anatomic and neuromusculoskeletal relationships and highlight structures that may be affected by manual and surgical spinal techniques or other diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

A clinical anatomist's perspective...
The third edition of the textbook "Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS" by Cramer and Darby recently landed on my desk and it is an impressive thesis of evidence-based information on a region of the human frame that is clinically important yet often misunderstood. The authors have produced an edition that truly represents the science and art of anatomy -- the green and orange cover is pleasing to the eye and the pages within are clear, which results in easy and effortless reading.
As an example of the authors' commitment to present up-to-date information, in the cervical region chapter (page 176) they write of the transverse occipital ligament (TOL) when discussing the classic ligaments of the upper cervical spine (eg, alar, cruciform, and apical ligaments). Another example is the neurophysiologic basis of pain (there is an entire chapter describing pain of spinal origin) and recent data on inflammatory mediators that play a role in the genesis of radicular pain). This kind of cutting-edge information is just two of the many examples that are found throughout the textbook. The result is a resource that can be immediately consulted and reviewed prior to neurosurgery or manual interventions of the spine. Medical students and other health-professional students can also use this textbook as a resource because many of the topics covered by Cramer and Darby in this edition are not fully discussed (or, in some cases not even mentioned) in general anatomy textbooks.
The authors of this textbook have revamped every chapter and continue to provide clinicians, anatomists, neuroscientists, and health-professional students with clear, crisp, and anatomically precise descriptions that explain each and every part of the vertebral column. Like previous editions, thick vertical lines are found throughout the textbook and signal to the reader information that is clinically important. Many diagnostic images (plain film radiographs, CT and MR scans) are found throughout the textbook and are very large compared to previous editions. The figures have also been enhanced and enlarged for easier reading. There are also many well organized tables that present data in a clear way.
I will be recommending the third edition of this textbook as a resource in my upcoming anatomy course. It is a worthwhile resource for anyone interested in the clinical anatomy of the spine.
