Atlas Of Foot And Ankle Sonography

Prepared by two leading experts in musculoskeletal ultrasound and a well-known podiatrist, this atlas is a complete guide to the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of foot and ankle disorders. The book contains over 500 illustrations, including full-color Doppler images and correlative MR images to show comparative anatomy and pathology. For each region of the foot and ankle, the atlas shows normal ultrasound anatomy and appearances of specific disorders. The authors compare the utility of ultrasound and MRI, particularly in detecting soft tissue injuries and foreign bodies. A chapter on ultrasound-guided therapeutic injections and diagnostic aspirations is also included.

With a focus on real-time clinical decision making, Dr. Waldman’s practical text helps you increase your diagnostic accuracy by performing dynamic scanning of the suspected pathology at the time the patient is being examined. Derived from Waldman’s Comprehensive Atlas of Diagnostic Ultrasound of Painful Conditions, this unique resource helps guide your targeted point-of-care ultrasound examination of foot and ankle disease. Classic ultrasound images and anatomic drawings depict commonly encountered conditions, and Dr. Waldman’s expert advice guides you clearly toward the correct clinical diagnosis.

Featuring nearly 800 illustrations, images, and photos, Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities by Dr. Mohini Rawat is a comprehensive visual guide to musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging for health care students and clinicians. Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging is a new, rapidly growing field with applications across many health care disciplines. With its increased popularity comes a need for detailed training resources. The Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities presents information on scanning protocols for the joint regions and peripheral nerves of the upper and lower extremities in an easy-to-follow, highly visual format. Beginning with an overview of ultrasound physics, equipment, terminology, and technique, the book provides detailed instruction for musculoskeletal ultrasound of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle and foot, concluding with a comprehensive chapter on peripheral nerves. Each chapter contains detailed images of scanning protocols, anatomy, sonoanatomy, patient positioning, and probe positioning for each joint region. Images are accompanied by explanatory text descriptions, along with clinical pearls under points to remember. Designed for students and clinicians in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, orthopedics, rheumatology, physiatry and podiatry, the Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Extremities provides essential introductory training materials and serves as a helpful reference for busy clinical environments.

This incomparable new visual guide to foot and ankle surgery includes 50 chapters on surgical technique, each written by an internationally known surgeon--all carefully edited to ensure a consistent approach. * Includes more than 50 detailed surgical techniques, carefully edited to ensure a consistent approach * Covers arthrodesis of the great toe, rheumatoid arthritis, sesamoid disease, ankle joint replacement, midfoot fractures and dislocations, and more

The second edition of An Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery builds on the success of the first, with an international selection of expert contributors to represent the current practice of foot and ankle surgery throughout the world. The material in this atlas is presented according to how foot and ankle pathology is encountered by most orthopaedic surgeons in their practice. Some chapters deal with individual common procedures, such as the soft tissue procedure for hallux valgus: in these, technical details and variations of technique are presented. Other chapters deal with diagnoses, such as metatarsalgia or cavus foot, and a number of different surgical treatment options are described. The scope of each chapter exceeds surgical instructions alone: the respective pathology is detailed, as are diagnostic techniques and alternative methods of treatment. The Atlas of Foot and Ankle Surgery should be of interest not only to inexperienced specialist surgeons, but also to the general orthopaedists and surgeon in training with an interest in disorders of the foot and ankle.

Straightforward commentary and 750 illustrations - including sonograms and line drawings - combine to make this book an authoritative review of high-definition ultrasonography in diagnosing musculoskeletal pathology of the extremities. This innovative, applications-oriented guide systematically covers: State-of-the-art instrumentation and examination techniques, with expert advice on probe positioning Common technical problems, diagnostic pitfalls, and useful preventive and corrective actions Normal and pathologic ultrasound findings for muscle, tendon, ligament, periosteum and bone, joint capsule, bursa and synovium, cartilage, vessel, nerves, fat, and skin Pathologic regional ultrasound findings for the shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, hip, thigh, knee, leg, ankle, and foot A wide range of specific diagnostic applications, including diagnosis of tendon tears, hematomas, fractures, joint effusions, foreign bodies, and more

McMinn's Color Atlas of Foot and Ankle Anatomy, by Bari M. Logan and Ralph T. Hutchings, uses phenomenal images of dissections, osteology, and radiographic and surface anatomy to provide you with a perfect grasp of all the lower limb structures you are likely to encounter in practice or in the anatomy lab. You’ll have an unmatched view of muscles, nerves, skeletal structures, blood supply, and more, plus new, expanded coverage of regional anesthesia injection sites and lymphatic drainage. Unlike the images found in most other references, all of these illustrations are shown at life size to ensure optimal visual comprehension. It’s an ideal resource for clinical reference as well as anatomy lab and exam preparation! Easily correlate anatomy with clinical practice through 200 high-quality illustrations, many life-sized, including dissection photographs, skeletal illustrations, surface anatomy photos, and radiologic images.

Efficiently review a wealth of practical, high-yield information with appendices on skin, arteries, muscles, and nerves. Administer nerve blocks accurately and effectively with the aid of a new chapter on regional anesthesia. Deepen your understanding of lymphatic drainage with a new Correlate anatomy into practice with life-size dissection photographs of the foot, ankle, and lower limb

Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a comprehensive atlas, employing over 3600 3D ultrasound images to evaluate musculoskeletal pathologies. The book is divided into 13 chapters covering the high resolution musculoskeletal sonography technique of muscles, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot, bones, peripheral nerve, musculoskeletal infections, soft tissue masses, swollen lower limb, and high resolution sonography of musculoskeletal emergencies. Also featured are discussions on neurophysiological abnormalities and high resolution ultrasound as a non-invasive modality for the evaluation of musculoskeletal infections. A separate chapter evaluates soft tissue masses in the musculoskeletal system, along with the description of ultrasound-guided FNAC for establishing the final diagnosis. Atlas of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound will help radiologists, orthopaedicians and physicians to understand how high resolution ultrasound can be used as an excellent modality in musculoskeletal emergency conditions, and how it is useful for differentiating between cellulitis and abscess, necrotizing fasciitis, cutaneous masses. Key Points Over 3600 3D ultrasound images in full colour Assists physicians in using ultrasound to guide final diagnosis Chapters divided to focus on specific parts of the body
