Orthopedic Pathophysiology in Diagnosis and Treatment

A survey of the principal musculoskeletal lesions encountered in clinical practice. Emphasis is placed upon those features which have an important emphasis on the patients symptoms and signs, affect the sequence of diagnostic studies, and influence choice and planning of a treatment regimen. It also addresses fractures, inflammation and infection, aseptic necrosis, arthritis and tumours. This book examines what the morphology of the lesions might be and how a reparative process operates.
