This book offers a complete focus on the radiographic analysis of the abdominal wall and hernias. An estimated 20 million hernias are repaired annually throughout the world. As the technology utilized to complete hernia repairs becomes more complex, surgeons are required to have a more thorough understanding of the radiographic anatomy and diagnostic modalities used to evaluate hernias. Furthermore, the amount that now goes into the preoperative planning of hernias for complex repairs (such robotic and open transversus abdominis muscle release procedures) requires an understanding of radiology and the ability to identify nuances of anatomy offered by the imaging. The use of mesh and extent of re-do hernia repairs has also complicated radiographic evaluation of hernias. The text is a comprehensive review of abdominal wall imaging broken down into individual types of hernia. Each hernia type is discussed with consideration to the best type of imaging evaluation, unique radiographic findings and considerations prior to repair. Representative images, diagrams and videos are used to point out anatomy and features of the hernia. This text offers the first-of-its-kind standardized approach to evaluating hernias radiographically. Most importantly, each hernia and chapter is approached with the surgeon in mind, meaning, authors explain the radiology based on anatomy and with a plan for surgical repair on the horizon. Select chapters include illuminating videos to give context to the text. This is an ideal guide for practicing surgeons and trainees treating patients with hernias.

Mit Einführung der Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT) als bildgebende Methode für die klinische Routine in den 80er Jahren kann erstmals das Knochenmarködem (KMÖ) eindeutig diagnostiziert werden. Der lokale Nachweis eines KMÖ im Rahmen von orthopädischen, sportmedizinischen und unfallchirurgischen Erkrankungen führte zum Begriff des ¿Knochenmarködem-Syndroms¿ (KMÖS). Diese radiologisch-klinische Entität ist mit massiven Schmerzen und Bewegungseinschränkung verbunden. Während früher eine Anbohrung des ödematösen Bezirks als ¿Mittel der Wahl¿ galt, stehen heute effektive Medikamente, biophysikalische Verfahren und Kombinationstherapien zur Verfügung, die zu einer Ausheilung des Ödems führen.

¿Frakturen von Fingern und Mittelhand stellen gemeinsam die häufigsten Frakturen dar. Klinisch kann es neben Schwellungen, Hämatomen und Schmerzen auch zu Funktionseinschränkungen kommen. Die Diagnostik umfasst neben klinischer Untersuchung auch bildgebende Verfahren, insbesondere röntgenologische Untersuchungen. Therapeutisch sollte neben dem Funktionserhalt insbesondere der individuelle Anspruch im Vordergrund stehen.

This book can be studied by undergraduate students preparing for their MBBS exams in surgery, and by postgraduate surgeons in training preparing for the MD exam in general surgery and the MRCS exams. The aim of this book is to make the assessment of medical students fair, structured, and objective. It can also be used as a training and review book by the students to improve their skills in history taking, clinical examination, and communication. It also teaches them to acquire a methodological and systematic approach to solve and manage clinical problems. It aims to complement, not replace, main textbooks in surgery.
