Over 4,000 of the most frequently used terms associated with the musculoskeletal system, with definitions written in non-technical language. Plus a separate section of 500 abbreviations and acronyms. A time-saving must for busy people.
For quick understanding, most entry terms immediately followed by a defining category (e.g., surgical procedure, pathologic condition).
Find words you can't spell! Commonly misspelled words alphabetized with the main entries (example: Beck's Disease. Incorrect spelling of Boeck's Disease).
"Mini-definitions" incorporated within definitions to avoid cross-referencing and needless searching (example: "...just below the acetabulum (hip socket)").
Two-word entries listed in both locations, for quickly finding a term (for example, femoral anteversion is listed under anteversion and under femoral).
