Presentation, Imaging and Treatment of Common Musculoskeletal Conditions

There is now a copy of Presentation, Imaging and Treatment of Common Musculoskeletal Conditions: MRI arthroscopy Correlation at Richmond House Library and Summer Row Library. This title is on three Sports Therapy module reading lists, so you'll probably find it useful to look though a copy and watch the accompanying case-based DVD that illustrates pathology and repair, with side-by-side comparisons of MRI and arthroscopic findings in the same patient.
