Broken Bones

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. In Chapter 1, we illustrate fractures and dislocations involving the hand. In Chapter 2, we show fractures and dislocations of the wrist, including fractures and dislocations of the individual carpal bones. 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. We show examples of fractures and dislocations of the spine in Chapter 5. Injuries of the pelvic ring are covered in Chapter 6, including fractures of the acetabulum and hip. 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 foot. Chapter 10 is devoted to fractures and dislocations of the face.
