Clinical Anatomy by Harold Ellis 11th Edition.pdf

Preface
Experience of teaching clinical students at five medical schools and of
examining them in sixteen cities and in eight countries has convinced me
that there is still an unfortunate hiatus between the anatomy which the
student learns in the pre-clinical years and that which is later encountered
in the wards and operating theatres.
This book attempts to counter this situation. It does so by highlighting
those features of anatomy which are of clinical importance using a vertical
blue bar, in radiology, pathology, medicine and midwifery as well as in
surgery. It presents the facts which students might reasonably be expected
to carry with them during their years on the wards, through their final
examinations and into their postgraduate years; it is designed for the clinical
student.
Anatomy is a vast subject and, therefore, in order to achieve this goal, I
have deliberately carried out a rigorous selection of material so as to cover
only those of its thousands of facts which I consider form the necessary
anatomical scaffolding for the clinician. Wherever possible practical applications
are indicated throughout the text—they cannot, within the limitations
of a book of this size, be exhaustive, but I hope that they will act as
signposts to the student and indicate how many clinical phenomena can be
understood and remembered on simple anatomical grounds.
In this eleventh edition a complete revision of the text has been carried
out. New figures have been added and other illustrations modified. Representative
computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance
imaging films have been included, since these techniques have given
increased impetus to the clinical importance of topographical anatomy.
The continued success of this volume, now in its forty-seventh year of
publication, owes much to the helpful comments which the author has
received from readers all over the world. Every suggestion is given the
most careful consideration in an attempt to keep the material abreast of the
needs of today’s medical students.
