This textbook is core source for teaching our students in course of Anatomy and Clinical anatomy. Together with Sobotta atlas makes perfect teaching tool.
As for Sobotta anatomy textbook – we've been using it for the past year there are a few concerns – mostly regarding poor translation (for an example the head and neck is translated as NECK AN THROAT, thus making the book hard to understand for students), other than this there are no major concerns.
i am very satisfied with this book, very useful for the study of anatomy
The Sobotta Anatomy Textbook by Waschke et al. is a beautiful, well-written and well-illustrated textbook. Nevertheless, this handbook fails to provide detailed information on gross anatomy for medical students. Furthermore, numerous parts of the text have been written too broadly and without sufficient clarity. Occasionally, substantive errors occur. For example, the text discusses Lefort I, II and III fractures but it does not provide any information about fossula petrosa (Fig. 9.5 shows this part of the skull but the authors do not mention it). Similarly, I cannot find any information neither in the text nor in the figures on hundreds of other extremely important structures such as incisura mandibulae, crista temporalis, crista buccinatoria, tuberositas pterygoidea, tuberositas masseterica, fossa digastrica etc. (the mandible); ethmoidal labyrinth, infundibulum, hiatus semilunaris, bulla ethmoidea seu ethomidalis or processus uncinatus (the ethmoid bone) and so forth. Likewise, I cannot find any information about crista pubica or the localization of the corpus ossis pubis, neither in the text nor in the illustrations. When the information is presented in tables, for instance in Table 9.8 Mimic muscles, it is very unclear and messy. Instead of repeating the same information (e.g. angulus oris), the table should provide precise information on the origin and the insertion of every muscle. For example, m. zygomaticus major arises from the lateral side of the zygomatic bone, passes downward and attaches to the skin at the angle of the mouth (modiolus anguli oris). Please note that m. zygomaticus minor arises from the area located anterior to the origin of the former muscle, so it is the anterior part of the lateral surface of the zygomatic bone, and attaches to the skin of the nasolabial sulcus (sulcus nasolabialis). The table just says: the zygomatic bone and angulus oris for both of these muscles, which is inexact and unclear. Other tables should be designed in another way as they suggest that “origin” and “attachment” refer to the nerves, e.g. Tables 4.6-4.10 say something like that “N. axillaris [has] pars clavicularis, pars acromialis and pars spinalis and is attached to the tuberositas deltoidea. See Table 4.10. N. radialis [has] caput longum, caput mediale and caput laterale and is attached to the olecranon. Of course this information refers to the muscles and not to the nerves but tables suggest it is about the nerves, which is misleading, and some students, but especially those who do not know anatomy at all but this is a basic textbook after all, might be confused. It is of note that the authors do not adhere to the official anatomical terminology, neither to the Terminologia Anatomical 1998 (FCAT) nor to the New Terminologia Anatomica (FIPAT). For example, on pages 5 and 145: “Calvicula and Shoulder blade (Scapula)”, and it should be: “Clavicle (colloquially Collarbone) and Scapula (colloquially Shoulder blade)”. These examples can be mounted. In the part Special neuroanatomy, the obsolete, archaic and discarded term “basal ganglia” is used, and it should be: Basal nuclei (corpus striatum; outdated: basal ganglia). In modern anatomy, ganglion is defined as a collection of nerve cell bodies that is located outside the central nervous system. Why do authors use this term for the amygdala, the caudate nucleus, the lentiform nucleus and the nucleus accumbens? Furthermore, on page 652 there is another misunderstanding that striatum and corpus striatum are synonyms that can be used interchangeably. In fact, the basal nuclei (corpus striatum) can be divided into the neostriatum (or simply striatum), which includes the caudate nucleus and the putamen, and the paleostriatum, a term that refers to the globus pallidus (the term “pallidum” is old-fashioned). The putamen and the globus pallidus (the latter comes from the diencephalon) form the lentiform nucleus. Surprisingly, this textbooks contains several substantive errors. For example, on page 417 there is a misunderstanding that Inion is just the Protuberantia occipitalis externa. This information is false and misleading. Inion is a point at which the superior nuchal lines merge with the external occipital crest in the midline of the external surface of the occipital squama. Inion is usually located slightly below the external occipital protuberance at the Tuberculum linearum (Inion linearum). In living individuals, Inion can be defined as the most prominent point of the external occipital protuberance when the head is adjusted to the Frankfort plane. In anatomy, the term “leg” is defined as the part of the body extending from the knee to the ankle. In human osteology, the leg bones include the tibia and the fibula. Why do authors use the inadequate and erroneous term “lower leg” (see page 5 and pages 209-218)? “Lower leg” implies that there is also an “upper leg”. I cannot find “upper legs” in the human body. Also several other parts of the text are unclear and messy. On balance, this textbook needs major revisions.
The textbook is well-organized and clearly written. It is limited to macroscopic anatomy, which is connected to functional and clinical aspects, which contribute to the reduction of the size and repetitiveness which are frequently seen in other textbooks. This is the first English edition so some linguistic and anatomical inconsistencies exist in the text, and hopefully they will be corrected in the new editions. The digital copy corresponds to the hard-copy, however, the digital viewer itself has limitations in comparison to standard digital readers available on the market. I personally find the regular .pdf more easy to read than this interface. It is simply more difficult to navigate.
I've published a review in a medical journal published in English. http://neuron.mefst.hr/docs/CMJ/issues/2019/60/6/cmj_60_6_b_rev.pdf
ideal book for students to see the connection between anatomy and clinical purpose to study it
