• Aligned with the National Medical Council’s Competency Based Undergraduate Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate.
• Integrating elements of both an atlas and a textbook, this resource utilizes real bone images to bolster practical understanding and
application.
• Presented in bullet points for improved comprehension.
• Each chapter begins with “Anamnese,” a clinical scenario to stimulate the readers’ curiosity.
• Using case-based scenarios, it introduces early clinical exposure, enabling students to grasp real-world medical scenarios from the
outset.
• Each chapter concludes with “Kliniche Perlen,” addressing the applied aspects of the subject matter.
• Schematic diagrams and clinical photographs are incorporated for enhanced concept visualization.
• Includes a note on recent advances to generate curiosity about the topics.
• Includes “Brain Teasers” with solved MCQs for self-assessment. Incorporating a diverse range of multiple-choice questions such as
true/false, image-based, and case-based formats, it caters to the needs of both national and international postgraduate examinations.
• Provides references under the heading “Further Readings” for detailed exploration of topics.
