Introduction

When it comes to interpreting radiological findings, the line between what is normal and what is pathological can often be blurred. For radiologists and orthopedic surgeons, this can present a significant challenge. Fortunately, there is a comprehensive resource available that has helped generations of physicians differentiate between borderline findings. Thieme proudly presents the updated and expanded fifth edition of “Borderline Findings in Skeletal Radiology” – the landmark text that has become a staple in the field.

This newly redesigned edition has been optimized for use and is organized based on the diagnostic questions raised by clinical and radiographic findings. The book covers all possible variants in five pathologic categories: anomaly, trauma, necroses, inflammation, and tumor. With over 4,200 high-quality illustrations, readers are provided with clear examples of potential findings throughout the entire body.
