Description
The Second Edition of this highly acclaimed reference is almost three times the size of the original edition and is illustrated with over 900 color and black-and-white images. The Second Edition describes state-of-the-art imaging techniques and offers definitive guidance on the use of MRI in diagnosing knee disorders, planning arthroscopic surgery, and evaluating the knee postoperatively. Coverage of meniscal and ligament injuries has been greatly expanded, and the extensor mechanism is now examined thoroughly in a new separate chapter. Close attention is also given to interpretation of postoperative MRI findings after arthroscopic meniscectomy, meniscal repair, and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The book also includes in-depth discussions on evaluation of muscle injuries and radiographically occult bone injuries detected by MRI
