description: Since systemic disease is often reflected in the hand, assessment for clinical and radiographic abnormalities provides an excellent means for diagnosing generalised disease, with minimal exposure to radiation.This atlas offers 100 X-ray plates each representing a different clinical problem manifest in the hand. A brief outline of the clinical presentation and patient details accompanies the X-ray. Readers can interpret each radiograph and suggest a diagnosis for the problem before comparing their views with the major observations on the following page. Interpretive drawings are provided where appropriate and differential diagnoses are given.Postgraduate students in medicine, radiology, orthopaedics, surgery and rheumatology will find this an invaluable teaching and revision aid.
