Preface to the English Edition Advancementsin orthopedicshave occurred atarapid pace in recent years.Whereasnew modalitiessuchasultrasound,computed tomog- raphy,andmagneticresonanceimagingareoccasionallyabletohelpus make precise orthopedic diagnoses more rapidly, meticulous history taking and thorough clinical examination remain crucial to any treat- ment. Everymedicalspecialtyhasitsownparticularexaminationmethods. In orthopedics and trauma surgery, these include examination of the jointsincombinationwithpreciserangeofmotiontestinginthetrunk and extremities and evaluation of the musculature. There are many standardized examination methods or teststhatcan aid in evaluating musculoskeletaldysfunction. Myaim was to applymy knowledge and experience to the task of compilingdescriptionsofthesemanytestsandgroupingthemaccord- ingtothevariousregionsofthebody.Thebookalsoincludeschapters on the evaluation of posture deficiencies, thrombosis, and arterial is- chemicdisorders.Eachtestisdescribedstepbystep,beginningwiththe patient’s initial position. Each of these descriptions also discusses the evaluation of the test and the possible diagnosis that the test may provide. Drawingshave been included with each testto illustrate the steps in the examination.
