Thoroughly updated and revised, the New Edition of this classic 2-
volume set offers a comprehensive description of the role of
diagnostic imaging (including plain film, computed tomography,
isotopic bone scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging) in the
evaluation of skeletal injury. The 3rd Edition includes the latest
advances in the use of CT, especially helical CT, in the assessment
of trauma to the skull, face, spine, pelvis, and various sites in the
appendicular skeleton.
Reviews
Review of last edition:
"Professor Rogers has picked the best possible radiographic
illustrations to make his point for each subject ."-The Journal of
Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgery
"Unparalleled in scope and practical usefulness...A must-purchase for
emergency departments, academic departments, community hospitals, and
private practitioners of radiology...Exquisitely illustrated...The
definitive textbook on the subject." -American Journal of
Roentgenology
Features
Discusses the epidemiology of fractures; the classification of
various special fractures, including chondral, osteochondral, stress,
and pathologic; and the patient with multiple injuries.
Explores the effects of various traumatic childhood injuries upon the
growing skeleton.
Offers a chapter on the skull, focusing on differential diagnosis as
it relates to congenital anomalies.
Addresses diagnostic pitfalls for a complete range of common, rare,
and acute injuries.
What's New
Presents the latest information on the role of helical CT and MR
imaging in the evaluation of acute skeletal trauma.
Provides nearly 3000 radiographs, CTs, and MR images along with a
wealth of line drawings-richly depicting the principal features of
all common fractures and dislocations.
Incorporates contributions from 28 new authors, providing expert
