“…Avicenna adopted the practical approach towards the descriptions of the human body and the associated diseases [1,2,15,16], which is the main scientific approach in modern medicine. In his treatise, Avicenna emphasized the importance of anatomy of the human body and encouraged physicians to consider the normal anatomy of organs in their diagnosis [1,2,9,16,17]. The current review was therefore intended to analyse and compare Avicenna's treatise on the anatomy of musculoskeletal and peripheral nervous systems presented in volume one and three of the Canon of Medicine [18] (and translated versions into English) [19,20] with modern descriptions in extant medical anatomy literature.…”
