Measurements and Classifications in Musculoskeletal

Radiology is the authorized translation of the first German
edition, published in 2011 by Georg Thieme. The editors are
Simone Waldt and Klaus Woertler, respectively associate professor and professor of radiology at the Technische Universitat
Mnchen (TUM) in Munich. The contribution of Matthias
Eiber is also recognized.
This is a very well structured book of 214 pages, enriched
with 423 illustrations, including images, schema and tables, in
which students, residents and experienced doctors can find
valuable help and an important reference. Across 17 chapters,
the publication guides the reader through the main topics of
musculoskeletal imaging, analyzing a variety of measurement
schemes and classifications commonly used in orthopedics
(excluding fractures). It covers lower limb alignment, all
major joints (hip, knee, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand)
as well as the spine and cranio-cervical junction, grading/
staging of bone and soft tissue tumors, osteoporosis, articular
cartilage lesions, rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia, muscle
injuries and skeletal age. In order to be as accurate as possible,
the authors have always tried to refer to the original primary
sources, which are necessarily dated but nonetheless relevant.

According to this approach, all outmoded practices and systems were excluded from this collection or were included with
appropriate comments noting at the same time the actual,
practical value of specific methods. This handy reference
for everyday use manages to gather all the currently
fragmented information on musculoskeletal radiology measurements and classification systems into one text, full of
detailed illustrations and radiological images where reference
lines, markings, angles and key values help the reader to focus
on the main concepts and get directly to the point. Moreover,
throughout the text are gray boxes marked with an exclamation mark in which key points, clinical pearls and pitfall alerts
are usefully highlighted. This kind of layout improves the
overall quality of the book, allowing it to provide both a
more-than-sufficient level of detail and a positive conciseness.
From this perspective, Measurements and Classifications in Musculoskeletal Radiology does not replace a
textbook but can be rightfully considered an external
memory to always have nearby, perfect to deal with the
endless measurement techniques and classification systems
used in orthopedic imaging and the ideal companion for
use at the radiology workstation.
