Broken Bones: The Radiologic Atlas of Fractures and Dislocations 2nd Edition

Previously I struggled to buy a radiology book to help non orthopedists in recognizing fractures. For a long time I had purchased several radiology books to little or no avail. Until I came by this book. The amount that this book helped me in reading radiology picture of bones was indescribable. Every fracture and its picture is there in an organized format with easy simple descriptions. It's really like encyclopedia of fractures. Thank you Mr. Chew for your extraordinary work!

Dr. Chew is one of the more prolific authors in musculoskeletal radiology. His book "Skeletal Radiology: The Bare Bones" remains a classic introductory text in the field. "Broken Bones: The Radiologic Atlas of Fractures and Dislocations" continues his tradition of clear and concise writing combined with excellent diagnostic images, and focuses specifically on the topic of skeletal trauma. Because of this tight focus, Dr. Chew and his co-authors are able to cover this topic far more comprehensively than any prior book, and have included images of fractures of every bone in the body. The second edition of this book adds an additional 65 cases and 162 images to those of the first edition. This book is appropriate for anyone working in the field of trauma, ranging from medical and nursing students to physicians in the general practice of medicine, orthopaedics or radiology.

This is a new edition of an awesome book of fractures and dislocations. It is an excellent read for healthcare providers in emergency medicine, urgent care, radiology, rehabilitation, or orthopedics, or for people who are just curious about what happens in car crashes, falls, etc. The pictures are spectacular and there is just enough (but not too much) text. You can learn so much by looking at the pictures and turning the pages!

Excellent and extensive atlas of bone trauma. Very detailed explanations of the fracture patterns. Great book for radiologists, ER physicians and orthopedists.

Awesome book for fracture dislocation for the radiologist or orthopod.
