The first book ever published to combine the full range of clinical
examination techniques with standard radiological imaging studies of the
musculoskeletal system, this is a key clinical tool for all orthopedic residents
and specialists. You will find dozens of representative imaging studies
(including arthrograms, ultrasonography and MRI) integrated with physical
examination tests -- offering a truly unique approach to reaching an accurate
diagnosis.
Special features include:
- Tips for performing a standard physical
examination in different areas of the body - Directions for patient positioning
during radiographic studies to obtain optimal results - How to select the best
test to confirm a diagnosis in the extremities, spine or pelvis - Specific
technical guidelines for performing key diagnostic imaging tests
In light of the
many new clinical tests and imaging modalities now in use, it is almost
impossible for any individual examiner to be familiar with the complete spectrum
of diagnostic options available. This book provides the quick orientation
clinicians need as they work through the standard examination for each joint,
pointing out appropriate imaging studies throughout. Useful and practical, it is
a book specialists will reach for frequently in their daily
practice.
