Publisher Description
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.

A radiology book of the future — just in time!
This is a model for radiology books of the future: digital and densely illustrated with large, high resolution, true gray-scale images.
I can't emphasize that last part too much — paper books with their half-toned compromises have never done justice to the images that are the breath and blood of every radiology text. The iPad is not the first digital book reader, but it's definitely the first one to make it possible and pleasant to view medical images. The digital part of this book is pretty swell also — I can continue to expand my radiology library without adding to my overloaded shelves.
Digital publishing also means portability, affordability and accessibility. My iPad, filled with my books, journal articles and lectures, is now my constant companion as I read out with residents and fellows. My trainees will be able to buy their own copies of major radiology texts without breaking their budgets. We will all be able to search through our digital books a lot quicker than we did during the paper era.
