Overall a good book4
This is a good book on musculoskeletal MRI. A little on the pricey side but most books in this category are pricey. Previous review stated that there was no mention on Bankart lesion. Bankart and Hill Sachs lesions were described in the shoulder and arm chapter. In fact, there was an illustration showing both lesions. There are many good illustrations in the book which solidify the depiction of pathology on MRIs. Each chapter contains labeled anatomic images so to orient the novice reader to the anatomy, which is a big plus. In summary, the major advantage of this book over others is the many illustrations which are worth more than long winding sentences.

Less for More2
For the size and price of this volume, there is very little in here. For example, there is no mention of Bankart lesions, a common injury that is not discussed in its short description of shoulder instability. Surprisingly there is more information in the thinner and cheaper Kaplan book. Perhaps his new edition is an improvement.
