Course Goal / Objective
This course aims to teach the anatomical variations of the musculoskeletal system and their clinical, radiological, and surgical significance. Students will identify muscular, skeletal, and joint variations and analyze their role in orthopedic surgery, traumatology, and radiological assessments.
Course Content
This course theoretically examines variations of the musculoskeletal system and their clinical significance in fields such as orthopedics, traumatology, and radiology. It explores the identification of muscular, skeletal, and joint variations, their implications in surgical and imaging procedures, and discusses clinical cases in light of current literature.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Resources
1. Güncel makaleler ve online kaynaklar 2. Dere Anatomi Atlası ve Ders Kitabı 3. Dere Atlaslı Nöroanatomi ve Fonksiyonel Nöroloji
Notes
Additional readings will be provided during the course.
