ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the six kinds of anatomy, to wit: bones, nerves, muscles, vasculature, lymphatic system, and organs. These can be studied through gross or macroscopic anatomy; microscopic anatomy; molecular anatomy; and developmental anatomy. An orthopaedic surgeon does not simply perform surgery on bones but performs surgery that manages the musculoskeletal system, bones and bone-associated diseases. Fundamentally, surgery involves retraction, exposure and tissue planes. The surgeon who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to combat disease and do good service for his patient, is the jewel of the healthcare system. The six anatomies correspond with the morphology of the human body. The surgeon who has attained a responsible post must be careful to study them. For operative success, there must be a harmonious team working and a successful dialogue between all staff involved in an operation.
