Clinical photographs, X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, and CT pictures provide an in-depth view of the clinical features of orthopedic diseases and deformities. This atlas is an invaluable help in differential diagnosis for orthopedic surgeons and residents alike.
Th e evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders is oft en
problematic because of the variety of diseases and diagnostic
complexity. Th is is compounded by the increasing
specialization in this fi eld. While a variety of
recent textbooks give comprehensive coverage of these
disorders, this color atlas is intended to provide a succinct
guide to evaluation and treatment. Th e atlas is organized
into sections according to diagnosis. Th e text
is brief and gives concise information on the clinical
features, radiographic characteristics and pathological
features that are important for the diagnosis. Th e
reader will appreciate the many illustrations demonstrating
the characteristic features of musculoskeletal
disorders. Th e atlas includes more than 600 clinical
photographs of patients, 710 radiographs, 272 MRI
and CT illustrations, 128 intra-operative and surgical
photographs, and 73 microphotographs which help to
understand the basic characteristics of more than 250
orthopedic disorders.
Th is atlas off ers a starting point for orthopedic, radiology,
and pathology residents. Furthermore, it emphasizes
a team approach and should be attractive to the
clinician, the rheumatologist, the radiologist, and pathologist
and off er them the opportunity to familiarize
themselves with and enhance their diagnostic acumen of
these musculoskeletal conditions.
Th is atlas of clinical orthopedics is a joint eff ort from
two large institutions, the Orthopedic Department of
Semmelweis University (Hungary) and the musculoskeletal
tumor center of Mayo Clinic (USA), both of which
have extensive experience in the diff erent areas of musculoskeletal
diseases.
It is the hope of the authors that this atlas will prove
educational and be a resource that will assist doctors in
the care of their patients.
