Blurb

This book provides richly illustrated guidance on the ever-expanding range of implants used in orthopedic surgery. The performance of these implants is assessed on radiographs, but information is not easily available and interpretation of these radiographs is difficult. Covering and illustrating implants from the neck to the foot, readers will understand the different features, what is most critical, and how to determine the overall performance.

This book offers guidance for trainees, practising orthopedic surgeons, and radiologists in assessing the radiologic appearance of implants and their potential for future performance
