Description
This practical resource distills all of the evidence-based clinical information on the presentations, diagnosis, and management of common musculoskeletal disorders from the parent text, "Hochberg's: Rheumatology, 3rd Edition". "Practical Rheumatology, 3rd Edition" provides an understanding of those rarer disorders for differential diagnosis as well as guidelines for referring patients to a specialist. With an emphasis on signs, symptoms, and lab tests, this 3rd Edition establishes principles of 'pattern recognition' essential to an accurate diagnosis.
