- Synopsis
- This is an atlas of fractures, as demonstrated by x-ray images (radiographs and computed tomography). It is intended for the use of anyone with an interest in fractures and dislocations, including students and practitioners of the many medical and allied heath specialties that work with the musculoskeletal system. The 369 cases (with 939 radiologic images) in this atlas are arranged anatomically. In Chapter 1, we illustrate fractures and dislocations involving the hand, beginning with injuries to the fingers and the interphalangeal joints and concluding with injuries of metacarpals and carpometacarpal joints. In Chapter 2, we consider fractures and dislocations of the wrist, including the carpal bones, perilunate injuries, radiocarpal injuries, and distal radius injuries. Chapter 3 begins with forearm injuries, continues with elbow fractures and dislocations, and ends with humeral shaft fractures. In Chapter 4, we illustrate fractures and dislocations about the shoulder and shoulder girdle, including the proximal humerus, scapula, clavicle, and thoracic cage. We show examples of fractures and dislocations of the spine in Chapter 5, beginning with the craniocervical junction and moving down to the sacrum. Chapter 6 covers with injuries of the pelvic ring and hip joint. In Chapter 7, we show injuries of the femoral shaft and knee. Chapter 8 covers injuries of the lower leg and ankle. In Chapter 9, we illustrate fractures and dislocations of the talus, calcaneus, midfoot, and forefoot, ending with the toes. Chapter 10 is devoted to fractures of the face. We recommend that the atlas be viewed on the iPhone.
