(Ebook) Diagnostic Imaging Musculoskeletal Trauma by Donna G. Blankenbaker, Kirkland W. Davis ISBN 9780323793933, 0323793932

Welcome to the 3rd edition of Diagnostic Imaging: Musculoskeletal Trauma. This edition
includes substantial updates to information regarding the role of advanced imaging
methods in the assessment of musculoskeletal disorders, building on the wonderful
previous editions. We retain the same basic format of the prior editions, maintaining the
eminently readable and searchable style and organization, which allows quick access to
important imaging and clinical tips. This update improves on our understanding of the
human musculoskeletal system and its injuries, as well as our ability to accurately diagnose
those injuries.
Imaging techniques are continually changing, and ultrasound continues to gain broaderimplementation as an imaging tool in the musculoskeletal system. This edition includes
expanded descriptions and images of musculoskeletal ultrasound and MRI techniques
in many of the chapters to stay up-to-date. We have expanded this edition with 8 new
chapters, including those on intramedullary fixation devices, plate fixation, screw fixation,
osteochondral injury of the elbow, postoperative imaging of hand fractures, Chopart joint
injury, anterolateral impingement of the ankle, and nerve injury in the foot and ankle. The
authors have included the latest information for all topics and added an extensive number
of cases to all chapters and up-to-date references for further reading. The print version
of this work includes all the critical text and imaging examples of all important entities.
However, further clinical information, and, in many cases, numerous additional imaging
examples, have been added to the electronic version, Expert Consult. Graphic diagrams
of anatomy and injuries have been enhanced to demonstrate points more clearly, and
graphics have been added to clarify complex topics. In addition, several chapters have
been reworked to improve readability and match our evolving understanding of certain
injuries.
