Full Description
This book, now in a revised and updated second edition, provides a review of imaging abnormalities in orthopedic sports injuries. The first part of the book includes background information on relevant basic science and general imaging principles in sports traumatology, while the second part discusses the topography of various sports injuries. Each chapter highlights the merits of different imaging techniques, focusing on a specific clinical problem. The third part then examines natural history and monitoring.
Several new chapters have been added, including a chapter on postoperative joint imaging in the sports patient as well as image-guided interventions in sports injuries.
This well-illustrated book written by leading experts is a valuable resource for musculoskeletal as well as general radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, sports physicians, physiotherapists and anyone else involved in sports medicine.
