A comprehensive reference on radiologic appearance, uses and complications of orthopedic devices, for radiologists, orthopedists, physicians, and students.

The must-have book for candidates preparing for the oral component of the FRCS (Tr and Orth).

Featuring over 4,000 large-size illustrations and unique, effective pedagogy, the Fifth Edition of Dr. Greenspan's best-seller is the ideal teaching text on musculoskeletal imaging for radiologists and orthopedists at every level of training. Orthopedic Imaging: A Practical Approach covers all orthopedic problems and imaging modalities and offers indispensable guidance on selecting cost-effective imaging techniques. The Fifth Edition has a new full-color design, with colorized tables and schematics and full-color illustrations including PET-CT. All conventional tomography has been replaced by CT. Coverage of MRI—the scan of choice for more clinical situations than ever—has been greatly expanded, especially in areas related to arthritis. More three-dimensional CT scans have been added, particularly to areas covering trauma. Musculoskeletal ultrasound coverage has been increased. Practical Points to Remember appear at the end of each chapter to outline salient points. A companion website will offer the fully searchable text and images.

This unique atlas is the most comprehensive and practical guide to the radiologic evaluation of orthopedic fixation devices and prostheses. Coauthored by radiologists and orthopedic surgeons from the Mayo Clinic, the book provides complete information on the indications, preoperative and postoperative imaging, radiographic appearances, and complications of the wide variety of orthopedic appliances used in current practice. More than 2,800 radiographs, photographs, and drawings show how these devices should look when properly in place and how to identify complications. The first two chapters review current imaging techniques and describe orthopedic devices that can be used in several anatomic regions. Subsequent chapters focus on devices and prostheses used in the spine; pelvis and hips; femur; knee; tibia and fibula; foot and ankle; shoulder; humerus; elbow; forearm; and hand and wrist. Coverage includes devices used for trauma, joint replacement, and other orthopedic problems in adults and in pediatric patients. The final chapter covers more custom-designed implants used for musculoskeletal neoplasms.

Emergency bedside ultrasound assessment is well established for adult patients, but has only recently been introduced into everyday clinical practice for the care of pediatric patients. Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound is a concise, practical text which explains the principles of ultrasound, its diagnostic application in all organ systems and its use as a procedural adjunct. Both well-established and innovative applications are described, assisting the practitioner in incorporating ultrasound into daily practice, facilitating patient care and decreasing radiation exposure. Case studies and abundant illustrations enable the reader to study the appropriate techniques in detail and learn from real examples from the pediatric emergency department and intensive care unit. Pediatric Emergency Critical Care and Ultrasound is the first comprehensive bedside ultrasonography resource focusing on pediatric patients and is essential reading not only for pediatric emergency medicine subspecialists but for all emergency physicians, intensivists/critical care physicians and pediatricians.

This book of 85 index cases is organized by clinical presentations that simulate real-life radiology practice in the emergency department. Companion cases spanning the differential diagnoses and spectrum of disease provide hundreds more examples for a fast, focused, effective education we like to call COFFEE (Case-Oriented Fast Focused Effective Education).

A-Z of Musculoskeletal and Trauma Radiology is an invaluable reference to the key aspects of imaging for all conditions of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. It provides the clinician with practical guidance on the key presenting characteristics, clinical features, diagnosis and management. The description of each condition is provided in a standard template of Characteristics, Clinical Features, Radiology and Management, enabling the reader to find the relevant information quickly. All diagnostic modalities are included and a separate section is dedicated to musculoskeletal trauma. Written by a multidisciplinary team of radiologists and an orthopaedic surgeon, A-Z of Musculoskeletal and Trauma Radiology is an invaluable resource for radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, rheumatologists and all clinicians managing musculoskeletal conditions.
