As a medical student, house man and medical senior house officer, rheumatology was a scary and obscure subject for me. Rheumatology always required extra effort in revising for finals and membership exams of the Royal College of Physicians, as it is a subject that does not crop up frequently in everyday general medical practice. Until I came across the website www.jointzone.org.uk, sponsored by the Arthritis Research Campaign.
In its basic science area, the musculoskeletal and immune systems are explained in a simple and concise way, aided by diagrams.
It then takes you through the various disorders, explaining in an easy way all aspects of the disease with plenty of pictures, x rays and short video clips.
There follows a quick reminder of how to approach the patient, describing how to examine each joint, aided by a video demonstration. The main deformities are featured.
The website then proceeds to investigations.
