A vital aspect of confidently assessing skeletal trauma imaging is to rely on the identification of mechanism-specific traumatic features. Indeed, for each mechanism of injury applied to a particular part of the skeleton, the latter can only present predefined traumatic injuries: this is a pattern of injuries. The recognition of such a pattern of imaging enables the reader to determine the injuring mechanism and seek out damages of lesser expression (or even invisible damages) that are common to the identified mechanism. By becoming more familiar with these mechanisms, readers can approach trauma imaging more efficiently and directly focus on findings that are relevant for further management. Skeletal Trauma: A Mechanism-Based Approach of Imaging aims to unite the expertise of radiologists and surgeons to propose a mechanism-based approach to imaging in skeletal trauma. Spanning 15 chapters, this comprehensive book covers every part of the skeleton, featuring over 900 figures. Additionally, over 200 original schemas invite readers to understand the imaging features and determine the injuring mechanism.
