More About the Author

Celebrated as the foremost medical illustrator of the human body and how it works, Dr. Frank H. Netter's career as a medical illustrator began in the 1930's when the CIBA Pharmaceutical Company commissioned him to prepare illustrations of the major organs and their pathology. Dr. Netter's incredibly detailed, lifelike renderings were so well received by the medical community that CIBA published them in a book. This first successful publication in 1948 was followed by the series of volumes that now carry the Netter name - The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations. Dr. Netter is acknowledged as the foremost master of medical illustration. His anatomical drawings are the benchmark by which all other medical art is measured and judged. His world famous Atlas of Human Anatomy is the bestselling human anatomy atlas of all time, with over 1.5 million copies sold in 12 languages.

This review is from: Netter's Concise Atlas of Orthopaedic Anatomy (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

This is a great, small book that can be used for quick reference when working with orthopedic patients. The pictures are small but it is not meant as a true anatomical atlas. It includes some nice x-rays, plenty of common pathological conditions and a few quick tests.

This review is from: Netter's Concise Atlas of Orthopaedic Anatomy (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

It is frustrating and sad to see Dr. Netter's art being miniaturized.
The book should be sold together with a microscope.

This review is from: Netter's Concise Atlas of Orthopaedic Anatomy (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

I'm a surgical rep and this book has served as very nice desk guide for numerous years in my office now. Netter's Illustrations are phenomenal as always! Scope of content leaves some to be desired. Also this is a rather small reference in size, not the typical 'Large' anatomy illustrations Netter's is commonly recognized for.
