Sonography is a noninvasive diagnostic method that has gained an
established place in many branches of medicine. Although the
inability of ultrasound to penetrate bone delayed its application
in the orthopedic field, the successful work of R. Graf in the
early detection of pediatric hip disorders with ultra sound has
served as an impetus for the increasing use of sonogra phy to
detect and evaluate abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system. It
is certain that further advances in this modality will be forth
coming, and that sonography will be applied to new lines of inves
tigation in orthopedic diagnosis. In Arthrosonography the authors
use concise text and copious illustrations to demonstrate the
potential applications of articular ultrasound, its diagnostic
capabilities, and technical aspects of the ultrasound examination.
Potential pitfalls are also explained. This book is the logical
outcome of the application of diagnos tic ultrasound in orthopedics
and rheumatology. It covers all basic practical aspects of
arthrosonography and will be a valued re source for those concerned
with the evaluation of the musculo skeletal system. HANS RETTIG
