This comprehensive book brings together the expertise of orthopedists and radiologists to provide a thorough exploration of the rapidly growing application of ultrasound in orthopedic surgery. It also emphasizes the increasing recognition of the potential of this non-invasive and portable real-time imaging tool, which has led to its integration into the minimally invasive toolkit of upper limb surgeons.
