Full Description
This book will concentrate on ultrasound findings in musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, presenting cases of various MSK conditions based on their ultrasound features. The target audience includes medical students, orthopedists, rehabilitation physicians, rheumatologists, pain physicians, physiotherapists, etc. Each MSK condition will be illustrated with clinical features, relevant physical examination findings, and imaging, including X-rays and high-frequency ultrasound. None of the cases have been previously published in other books; all are derived from real patients, with a focus on community-based facilities and tertiary-level practices. Case discussions will be followed by a suggested reading list.
