Imaging Musculoskeletal Trauma

In summary, Imaging Musculoskeletal Trauma Interpretation and Reporting is a very well-written textbook with comprehensive evaluation of fractures and fracture-dislocations of the axial and appendicular skeleton, with minor limitations. This book can be recommended as a useful guideline in radiologic evaluation and interpretation of musculoskeletal trauma cases for radiology trainees, practicing radiologists, and other clinicians with an interest in musculoskeletal trauma.
