Summary: "Navicular vs. scaphoid" bone
Comment: I wanted to comment on the book in general (excellent!) and a question about the use of "scaphoid" versus "navicular" for the carpal bone. I also wondered why both terms were used. "Scaphoid" comes from the Greek word for boat or skiff, "skaphe". "Navicular comes from the Latin word for boat, "navicula." I suggest that students use a good medical dictionary to look up confusing words. Dorland's Medical Dictionary is great for discovering the origins of these words!

Summary: Great resource!
Comment: This is a great book for learning more about the physical exam. In addition to the basic exam, there are all kinds of special signs and tests. The author explains the pathophysiology and differential diagnosis for all of these. Overall, very helpful as a reference or to read straight through.

Summary: Carpal Navicular = Scaphoid
Comment: I can understand why Sonia said what she did, as I have seen "scaphoid" used more often. However, "navicular" is not wrong. Per Gray's Anatomy etc., this most commonly fractured wrist bone is indeed sometimes referred to as "navicular" or "carpal navicular" in the literature. I do not understand why she feels the book is "riddled with errors". If so, I'd like them pointed out or be referred to errata for it. It's a thorough, highly educational but portable resource.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Riddled with mistakes!
Comment: I was surprised at the number of mistakes in the book. For example, the wrist diagram (and text) mislabeled the scaphoid bone as the navicular bone. Now this may seem like a little mistake, but the scaphoid is the bone most often fractured in the wrist. Just try telling your attending that you patient fractured their navicular bone... he or she will laugh at you! Any undergrad human anatomy student should catch this mistake! I was hoping the physical exams were more complete. Some common exams were left out of the book. I concur with the reviewer that Bates or Mosby should be used first. This way, you won't look stupid in front of an attending.
