A Century Later and Not Much Has Changed in Use of Anatomic Nomenclature: Should Surgeons and Anatomists Be Speaking the Same Language?

Recently, the Journal of the American Medical Association published in the "JAMA Revisited" section a centennial paper entitled "Anatomic Nomenclature"1 by anatomist Dr Albert Eycleshymer (1867-1925). Dr Eycleshymer's advocacy for uniformity in the use of anatomic terminology where its impact is most strongly felt echo's the sentiments of anatomists today who are vested in the education of future physicians. While the use of anatomical terminology is today governed by the international standard on human anatomic terminology the challenge of maintaining coherency between anatomical and clinical referencing persists.
