Orthopaedic Pathology

By Vincent J Vigorita and Vincent J. Vigorita MD

Featuring abundant color illustrations and tables, this volume is a practical, easily referenced guide to diagnosing disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The book details the pathologic and radiographic characteristics of the entire spectrum of bone and joint diseases, including arthritis, metastatic bone disease, osteoporosis, trauma, osteomyelitis, primary bone tumors, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and trauma- and crystal-induced arthropathies. A section on soft-tissue pathology discusses meniscal injuries, bursa, ligaments, and tendons. Numerous original drawings throughout the book illustrate mechanisms of disease. Although primarily a diagnostic aid, the text also includes therapeutic suggestions. A glossary has been included to define specific orthopaedic disorders.
