During the growth of a bone, outer (periosteal) surfaces in many areas undergo normal remodeling processes involving resorptive removal. Attachments of muscles commonly occur on such outer resorptive surfaces.The cortex in these regions grows in an inward direction by bone deposition on endosteal surfaces. In some areas of a bone, a portion of muscle can be inserted onto adepository surface, but other parts of the same muscle may be attached on to an adjacent resorptive surface. It has been generally assumed that the pull of a muscle acts to directly stimulate deposition of new bone, and that attachments of muscle are thereby responsible for determining the gross morphology of a whole bone. In view of the foregoing considerations, a re-evaluation and an expansion of this concept is now needed. Muscle pull, in many regions of a bone, can be associated with normal cortical recession (involving surface resorption) as well as with outward bone deposition. (AU)

En los últimos años ha aumentado el interés del médico por el cabal conocimiento de la ortopedia y traumatología, debido al elevado número de accidentes, en especial de tránsito. Basado en esta necesidad el autor de este manual trata de divulgar para estudiantes y médicos generales, la anatomía y fisiología del sistema musculoesquelético, y procedimientos semiológicos que permite concretar el estudio clínico del paciente traumatizado
