Features *Extensive coverage of arthritis and metabolic disorders. Will assist the orthopedic surgeon in practice and in training. These are conditions that they see most often. They are not adequately covered in other orthopedic pathology texts which tend to focus more on bone tumors. *Clinical images are directly correlated with histologic and radiographic studies. Assists comprehension by relating pathology to clinical situations. (Orthopods tend to read their own X-Ray, CT, MR images) *Completely revised and up-dated with greater emphasis on differential diagnosis and new diagnostic techniques such as immunhistochemistry and cytogenetics. Provides the reader with a full diagnostic work-up *Nearly 2,000 histomicrographs, radiographs, and art works. Provides a complete visual route map to assist in diagnosis and interpretation of pathologic conditions. *Comprehensive coverage of musculoskeletal pathology. Provides in a single resource information that one would otherwise have to buy a book on metabolic bone disease, another on arthritis and a third on neoplasms. *Includes a section on normal bone structure and development. Understanding of normal anatomy, histology and cytology facilitates the recognition of disease processes
