The definitive regional anatomy reference now marking sixty-five years of clinical excellence

Thoroughly updated to reflect contemporary clinical practice, Clinical Anatomy: Applied Anatomy for Students and Junior Doctors, Fifteenth Edition, delivers a systematic presentation of human regional anatomy with clear emphasis on functional and clinical aspects. Extensively revised by Vishy Mahadevan and continuing the legacy established by Harold Ellis in 1960, this landmark text provides the precise anatomical information required for clinical success.

Organized into six sections corresponding to specific body regions, Clinical Anatomy features engaging, accessible prose throughout, with clinical conditions highlighted in dedicated boxed sections. The text includes precise descriptions of surface markings and surface anatomy, medical images overlaid with anatomical illustrations, and detailed coverage of the anatomical basis for practical procedures.

Key Features: - Systematic regional organisation with consistent emphasis on clinically relevance
- Boxed clinical highlights connecting anatomical structures to medical and surgical practice
- Clear, well-labeled illustrations and modern radiological images revealing detailed surface anatomy
- Precise surface anatomy descriptions essential for physical examination and procedural skills
- Anatomical basis for practical procedures encountered by junior doctors and surgical trainees

Essential for medical students, MRCS candidates, and resident doctors, Clinical Anatomy bridges foundational knowledge with clinical application. Its accessible format and clinical focus make it a proven companion throughout medical training.
