Internal Derangements of Joints: 2-Volume Set by Donald L. Resnick, Heung Sik Kang, Michael L. Pretterklieber

From the Publisher

Donald Resnick's latest reference keeps pace with the rapid changes that characterize modern MR imaging of joints. This second edition offers comprehensive coverage of the most up-to-date protocols and imaging techniques required in the analysis of internal derangements of the six major peripheral joints: the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, pelvis and hip, knee, and ankle and foot. You'll find the level of utility you need through the new, streamlined organization that explores MRI Techniques and Protocols; Synovial Joints: General Concepts; Bone and Bone Marrow; Soft Tissues; and Specific Joints in five new, easy-to-reference sections. You'll also find hundreds of new illustrations
• new expertly designed anatomic diagrams
• and updated radiographic and CT images correlated with the latest high-resolution MR images as appropriate.

• Represents the most comprehensive reference available on the subject of peripheral joints.
• Maintains a consistent, logical format throughout.
• Focuses on the derangement of joints, as well as entities that present similarly to help you formulate accurate diagnoses.

• Dedicates all-new chapters to the hottest topics in the field: Infectious Disorders of Bone and Joint
  • Ischemic Disorders of Bone
  • Osteoporosis
  • Tumors and Tumor-like Disorders of Bone
  • Disorders of Tendons.
• Features a new organization that makes important information easy to find.
• Provides hundreds of new images to clarify every discussion and every technique.
• Presents the latest MRI protocols for all major peripheral joints of the body.
• Correlates the latesthigh-resolution MR images to relevant radiographic and CT images.
• Offers brand-new anatomic diagrams from master medical illustrator, Michael Stadnick and hundreds of new images from the private collection of co-author, Michael Pretterklieber.

Reviewer:Richard Tupler, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
Description:This two volume text of the imaging appearance of articular disorders (with an emphasis on the role and appearance of MRI) is an inclusive reference text for all physicians who are involved in the interpretation of imaging studies on patients with joint disorders. The focus is on the derangement of joints, as well as entities that present similarly, to help formulate accurate diagnoses. Given the emphasis on regional anatomy and its relevance in clinical problems dealing with the internal derangements of joints, the extensive images, along with the anatomic dissection specimens and medical drawings, serve to demonstrate the principles and the imaging presentations of the entire spectrum of articular disorders. The result is an encyclopedic masterwork that is incredibly thorough, yet focused and clinically relevant.
Purpose:The authors' goal is to provide the definitive resource for the specific, state-of-the-art musculoskeletal imaging and interpretation knowledge practitioners need in MR imaging of joints today. They have succeeded in providing an indispensable reference tool for clinical practice. The wealth of relevant, practical anatomic, clinical and imaging information makes this encyclopedic text deserving of a place in every radiology department.
Audience:Though not explicitly stated, it is obvious that anyone involved in the interpretation of musculoskeletal images would find this book invaluable. Every radiology resident, general radiologist and aspiring bone radiologist should have access to this substantial work. The authors are leading authorities inthe field of musculoskeletal radiology.
Features:This text represents an extremely comprehensive reference available on the subject of peripheral joints with an emphasis on correlating imaging with the underlying pathology. Specifically, this two volume text offers comprehensive coverage of the most up-to-date protocols and imaging techniques required in the analysis of internal derangements of the six major peripheral joints: the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, pelvis and hip, knee, and ankle and foot. In addition to the detailed coverage of these six joints, other sections explore MRI Techniques and Protocols; Synovial Joints: General Concepts; Bone and Bone Marrow; Soft Tissues. In addition, the text covers hot topics such as multidetector CT arthrography. Importantly, there are up to 1000 relevant and up to date references per chapter further making this a true authority. Despite its size, its level of organization makes important information easy to find. The high resolution MR images serve to clarify every important concept and technique. In addition, the extensive medical illustrations and anatomic dissections were carefully chosen to complement the text, and emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation.
Assessment:This exceptional resource on musculoskeletal imaging deserves a place in every radiology library as an authoritative reference for any physician who regularly deals with imaging of musculoskeletal disorders of the joints. As a second edition, this is a timely replacement for the previous, with current and detailed information, comprehensive in scope.
