Murray: A-Z of Musculoskeletal and Trauma Radiology

Musculoskeletal radiology is a well-recognised sub-specialty and imaging is fundamental to the practice of modern-day ‘musculoskeletal medicine’. The musculoskeletal umbrella includes the disciplines of Orthopaedics, Trauma, Physiotherapy, Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, Emergency Medicine and Sports Medicine and applies to a significant part of the work-load of a primary care physician.
The aim of this book is to link the key facts of a topic with appropriate high-quality imaging; this will aid learning for that particular clinical scenario, prior to clinical examination. It will be valuable for both specialists’ teaching, and day-to-day routine clinical practice in the relevant fields.
Emphasis has been placed upon clarity of fundamental points, rather than inclusion of over-expansive detail, and the format of the other titles in the A to Z series has been maintained throughout, that is ‘Characteristics, Clinical Features, Radiology and Management (where appropriate)’. By keeping to this standard, the reader can turn to the topic required and immediately select ‘radiology’, for example. The trauma section has been separated for ease of reference.
Readers familiar with the A to Z of Radiology series will note that several of the images within the trauma section are duplicated from A to Z of Emergency Radiology. The authors do not make apologies for this, as a huge emphasis is placed on providing high-quality reference images, and consequently such images are transcribed across the A to Z series. This book will be a useful aid to medical students, radiographers, radiology trainees, surgeons in training and general and emergency physicians who wish to gain a greater understanding of musculoskeletal and trauma imaging and how it can improve their clinical practice.
