Juarez "], "item_description" : "Textbook of Musculoskeletal Medicine: An Illustrated Clinical Reference for the Diagnosis, Pain Neuroscience, and Evidence-Based Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Orthopedics, Rheumatology, Sports Medicine, and RehabilitationMusculoskeletal disorders do not respect specialty borders. A single shoulder, knee, hip, or spinal complaint may pass through the hands of an orthopedic surgeon, a rheumatologist, a sports medicine physician, and a physiotherapist, each approaching it differently. This textbook is written to unite those perspectives around a common evidence base, presenting musculoskeletal medicine as one coherent discipline.Three threads run through every chapter: accurate diagnosis, the neuroscience of pain, and management grounded in current evidence. The book works systematically across the regions and conditions of the musculoskeletal system, integrating history and examination, diagnostic imaging, and the clinical reasoning that links presentation to treatment. Rather than isolating pain in a single chapter, it carries pain neuroscience throughout, reflecting its central role in understanding persistent and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and in shaping modern management.Treatment guidance is anchored in contemporary standards. Recommendations draw on clinical practice guidelines from bodies including NICE, ACR, EULAR, OARSI, and BSR, supported by systematic reviews and landmark trials from recent literature. The result is a reference that connects what the clinician sees to what the evidence supports.The book is organized for daily clinical use, with recurring features that highlight the most useful information. These include: Clinical pearls that distill practical, experience-based guidance.Evidence-based medicine boxes that summarize the strength and source of key recommendations.Treatment algorithms that map decision making for common presentations.An extensive illustration program covering anatomy, pathology, diagnostic imaging, and procedural technique.Reference appendices covering normal laboratory values, validated clinical scoring systems and outcome measures, and a drug reference for the agents used most often in musculoskeletal practice.This is a reference for clinicians who already carry the responsibility of musculoskeletal care. It is written for consultants and trainees in orthopedics, rheumatology, sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation medicine, and for physiotherapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors working at an advanced level. It assumes completed professional training and sustains an advanced clinical register throughout, making it suitable both as a structured text for those consolidating expertise across the breadth of the field and as a working reference for the clinic, the imaging suite, and the rehabilitation setting.Across its scope, the breadth of musculoskeletal presentations, the integration of pain science, the grounding in guideline-level evidence, and the visual support of a heavily illustrated format, Textbook of Musculoskeletal Medicine is built to be opened often and relied upon in the moment of clinical decision.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/995/9798199956253_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "200.00", "online_price" : "200.00", "our_price" : "200.00", "club_price" : "200.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
