Imaging
Musculoskeletal Trauma: A Handbook for the Clinic, published by
Wiley, offers a well-designed approach to imaging musculoskeletal
trauma. Residents and fellows in radiology, emergency medicine, and
orthopedic surgery, as well as practicing radiologists, emergency room
physicians, sports medicine physicians, and orthopedic surgeons will
appreciate this book's careful but concise review of common fracture
mechanisms, examples of fractures using current imaging technology, and
up-to-date guidelines on the use of imaging tests.
The scope of material includes normal anatomy, appropriateness criteria
for imaging studies, mechanisms for fractures, and fracture description
at each anatomic site. In addition, imaging techniques and special views
are described as applicable to the trauma patient. It is essential for
radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and emergency room physicians to
understand how the images are obtained and which views or imaging planes
are best for various anatomic sites.
Complete with on-call issues, common traumas, and specially highlighted
"do-not-miss" fractures, this is an invaluable resource for everyone
involved with the imaging of musculoskeletal trauma.
