Injuries Books

My chiropractor recommended that I buy custom made insoles. He told me that my feet would hurt for the first 2 weeks. I bought this book before the arch supports came in and pre-conditioned my feet. After a painful foot day with the new supports, I reviewed the books recommendations and my feet felt much better. I gave a four star rating since nothing is better than a professional massage!

As a professional dancer, I'm always looking for ways to shore up the foundations of my business. This book offers more good advice on foot care, more concisely than any other single source I've found. The section on massage has proven particularly useful on both myself and my fiancee, also a professional dancer. Every podiatrist should prescribe the book to their patients.

After enjoying and appreciating Ms. Dillman's first book, The Little Yoga Book, I was intrigued when I spotted her newest book on foot care. My husband and I are runners and yet had never fully appreciated the strain our feet endure daily and how relaxing and healthful it can be to take better care of your feet. Ms. Dillman's book has been educational, even entertaining and easy to follow, helping us see the benefits and relaxing nature of good foot care. I've bought several as Christmas gifts.

This is an excellent book for women, especially moms, who need to pamper themselves. It includes details to make foot care a relaxing and wellness-promoting experience. I really liked the easy to read approach with specifics on how to apply the different techniques. I've given several of these books with a bottle of foot cream as gifts to friends. If you want to get started, or if you want specific details to further your foot health, this is the book for you.

Ms. Dillman provides a clear means to pampering one's feet without having to give up a lot of time or money. If you haven't got time for the pain, buy this book. This joy of a read is not only about easing pain, but more importantly, learning to love one's feet. I'm walking on sunshine, oh yeah...

Full of great drawings by Salvador Beltran, excellent quality MRI images, and handful boxes. The most didactic book on msk MRI. Greatly improved from the previous version. Definetly worth it, much better than the one from the Diagnostic Imaging series.

Best book in orthopaedic surgery. Huge amount of photos and illustraions, in detail review, almost every disease and the sports injuries are covered in this book. Very practical, easy to read, must-have for orthopadeic surgeon. This is not only the best textbook, this is the beautiful artwork.

This is the definitive work on orthopedic imaging. The illustrations and images are all of high quality. Unlike many other reference books, this one actually gives you an approach to image interpretation for each joint, in addition to detailed discussions of the pathology. There is also a sample report with images provided at the beginning of each chapter. Although it is pricey, it certainly blows the diagnostic imaging book out of the water. Highly recommended for any radiolgist interested in providing high quality reports to your referring orthopedists.

The illustrations are beautiful. There has been tremendous attention to detail. This is a definitive tome on high end orthopedic imaging. It contains information and concepts that are pretty cutting edge (that seem to just be getting into the literature). If you're looking for THE text on orthopedic imaging, this is the one. It BLOWS away the DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING Series - Orthopedics (by Dr. Stoller also).

This is a very large series of 2 books. Like that it's broken up into upper and lower extremity. Initially, cost freaked me out a bit. But, for what you get ... particularly the really high quality images and illustrations (and lots of them), it's well worth it.

This remains an essential textbook for musculoskeletal radiologists although one criticism would be that is a little dry . It steers clear of the opinion which makes books by Resnick or Helms so entertaining and useful. Stoller and some of the authors he has used for the chapters are enormously experienced and it would be good to read a more personal perspective .

Great book with a lot of helpful herbal remidies. Some of them are a little silly (we don't see many sword injuries these days). However, there is a GRAT djow recipe.

There are companies out there who sell formulas made from this book at very high prices. Don't be a fool, cut out the middle man, buy this book and make your own stuff.

For those interested in TCM, and the Shaolin application of such, this is a real treasure.

This is a reference book and not really a text or descriptive reading. It is mainly a list, with terse but very useful commentary, of recipes for making helpful remedies. The ingredients are not all easily available in most North American towns. Many ingredients will not be easy to get, even at a proper Chinese herbal store. Still, the documentation is sufficiently useful that any resourceful person will be able to produce the described medicines. By making this available to a general audience, the author has given humanity a very great gift. I just hope we will use it properly. It can be a great help for an extremely broad range of medical needs.

This book lists many formulas to concote pills, poltice and medicinal wine to treat injuries arising from "falls and strikes" typically from martial art training. Some of the formulas however, are also useful to prepare and kept for use in household emergencies. A word of caution though, always see a doctor for serious injuries such as dislocations or broken bones. This is not a self treat book. For a non martial artist, I find that the formulas are especially useful in treating bruises and sprains.

Although the names of the herbs are given in Latin and Pinyin descriptions, it may be difficult to have the formulas filled by your regular chinese herbalist as most of them are literate only in chinese characters.

For the serious reader, it may be a good idea to invest in a good materia medica as a companion book to this one.

I can't be very objective when one of the key characters is someone I know; David Trotter who knows his Great Lakes shipwrecks! But maybe the only problem I had was reading it after "Shadow Divers" which was another high energy, drama filled account on a larger scale. So the obvious draw to this book is the midwestern connection or the small town, local aspect, but with some of the same high drama. I think people will relate a little more in the midwest if they are familiar with some of the names mentioned in the book from newspaper accounts or visits to some of the shipwreck museums in the area, etc. It still has the danger that "Shadow Divers" has but more on a local, hometown level. Still worthy of a read!!!

It was a OK book about the same one sided as you get from some Andrea Doria Diver books. Why dose He try to glamorize these old men as historians and hero's of the deep when most are not! Most all are just plain salvors and looters of the deep. The book states that one main character in one sentence takes only pictures and in the next breath they are prying a strong box open.And in another Bio he states correctly that one divers problems with the local government (Law) and writes about the one case this diver won but forgets to mention about the cases he lost.Was this intentional? In closing it is nice to know how paranoid some of these old salvors are (were) If they were so innocent sharing locations and information would be the norm as some legitimate groups do today. And I think the author would of done a much better job in including some more facts and interviewing others out of the good old boy network.

This engrossing book is an excellent tale of the Great Lakes, shipwreck hunting, and underwater diving. I personally know, or thought I knew, the main diver profiled, Danny Fader and his wife, Jeanne. Volgenau paints a very thorough, honest portrayal of both. They are two of the most honest, caring, endearing individuals one could ever meet. If there is any fault with the book, it is that the author tends to get too bogged down with the technical details of shipwreck hunting. There is such a thing as too much detail.

The inside story on how most of the ships in the Great Lakes were found and are still being found.

To be honest, I was a fan of Mr. Volgenau when he was a writer for the Detroit Free Press, but this book is really something else entirely. A little bit of fascinating history, lots of drama and a compelling human story as well. I had a hard time putting it down. Definitely recommended for those interested in diving, as well as fans of the maritime history of the Great Lakes. Mr. Volgenau's background as a journalist really shines in this brutally honest look at the dangerous world of deep diving and the people who have the sauce to do it. Loved it.

This book is a step up from common sense in that it has a few more details when dealing with certain injured body parts. But unless you're going to be in the middle of nowhere doing extreme sports, you probably don't need this book. If you hurt yourself, the procedure is pretty much the same for everything: rest and professional help when you need it.

I took this book with me to my Doctor and said see this is what I am talking about and finally he ordered an MRI and it revealed much more than he claimed I was suffering from. I fell in my own home, running in my own house. Now what were we told as children and what do we tell our kids and grandchildren? I have no one to blame but myself, and I wished I had been more proactive as a patient instead of letting the doc do everything!

An excellent book. At the age of 40 I pay for my active lifestyle with some aches and pains; this book is helping me live pain free. Unlike many PT type books, Levy is specific with his advice, not making you waste your time on dozens of stretches and exercises. He'll lead you directly to what you need to know to fix the problem. Other books seem shy about recommending specific exercises for specific problems; Levy's not. I ordered several of these types of books at once and eventually resold all the others. This is the one I kept.

I just got this book today. It's a great idea, a sports injury handbook organized by bodypart **and** sport, but right off the bat, while browsing, I notice a few oddities: on page 221, Dr. Levy claims "exercise machines require you to lift too much weight," which is weird because one can certainly adjust the resistance on most any exercise machine out there -- and he makes that statement while advising free weights! Any bodybuilder or powerlifter knows that it is typically harder to use free weights than a machine: for example, dumbbell curls are much harder than machine biceps curls at the same weight. Also, on page 17 there is an illustration of the behind-the-neck pull-up, which is potentially more dangerous for some people than the regular front-of-the-neck type of pull-up. That's a very strange thing to see in a book on sports injuries! Though it's not exactly a dangerous movement, it does place the rotator cuff at greater risk of injury, especially for people who might have weak muscles and tendons there to begin with. The regular pull-up works the same muscles just as well, but without that slightly higher risk of injury.

I hope I don't find any other strange advice or illustrations in this book....

I have not read this book, but the reviews indicate it is for the current athlete with an injury. One reviewer unfairly slammed Marilyn Moffat's book since it was not right for him. I read and evaluated her Physical Therapy book from the library as a guide for my 84 year old father. He was a super fit elderly sculler who wore out his beach volleyball playing granddaughters double sculling for 2 hours at a shot, and was in the hospital for 14 months recovering from surgery to reduce intracranial bleeding, which was followed by seizures, pneumonia, and kidney failure. He essentially woke up a year later a live but terribly weak shadow of himself. He needs rehabilitation from, literally zero strength. He is learning to walk, talk, and eat, and more. He's gone from feeling like 40 to feeling like a hundred, but with no long slide of good memories. Very discouraging. Her book will help me start him back to a pleasant final years, from a zero base. I will buy that book to help him. I may be able to use this book for myself, but he could not.

I really enjoyed the book and the directness of it, that is to say, there was not a lot of useless info that I had to go through to get to the meat of the subject, no filler, just good information, I will be reading it again and again. Along the lines of this book I have also read a number of excellent Herbal and Martial Arts books at the following website - http://home.sprynet.com/~rmieir, I also found a number of no non sense, information packed books there as well just incase others are interested. Once again, a great book!

Very instructive book. Easy to follow instructions and a list of available stores which supply the herbs. I have my warrior tonic aging as I speak.

After reading the review by James Ramholz, I'd like to make a few comments.

He is correct in stating that all of the herbal formulas used in this book were taken from other sources that are readily available on Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, all of the sources for formulas used were written by professional Chinese medical practitioners for Chinese medical practitioners. Meaning, they were highly confusing to the layman. The purpose of writing the book the Warrior as Healer was to introduce herbal formulas to martial artists in a comprehensive informative and user-friendly fashion, it was not written for other medical professionals.

All of the formulas in the book were offered in their original traditional forms. Mr. Ramholz's comments about a particular ingredient (Zhu Sha) or cinnabar while true, have only come to light subsequent to the writing of this book. I might add that I share his concerns and agree that Zhu Sha can be left out of the formulas without compromising the efficacy of the formula.

In the last 2 years it has been my experience that once the toxicity of Zhu Sha was confirmed, the great majority of Chinese herb shops no longer sell this particular ingredient.

As for the comment regarding Hu Gu/tiger bone I devoted a chapter to the discussion of this ingredient, going into detail about the pros and cons of using tiger bone and other animal by-products.

The only divergence of opinion appears to occur with his recommending the substitution of raccoon and pig gallbladder for bear's gallbladder. My personal position and the general policy of my Chinese herb company (Treasures From the Sea of Chi) is that I reject the killing of any animal for harvesting organs and body parts without exception.

This was a very intresting read. It is very well written and laid out. I have not had a chance to try the formulas yet but I look forward to doing so.

This book essentially collects herbal formulas that are already in the public domain from other sources. While it presents a nice survey, I feel there are some needed cautions the author should have included for the general public.

The most important caution is the prohibition of the use of cinnabar, a mercury compound, for internal formulas. It should never be used in any herbal formulas by amatuers because of its well-known toxicity. Even highly processed cinnabar will contain traces of mercury; extended use will increase the exposure. It can simply be left out of the formulas in the book without much loss of efficacy.

The use of real Tiger bone besides being unethical would also be prohibitively expensive. The Chinese always substitute other animal bones (horse, dog, ox, among others). Some modern herbal practitioners have even used a combination of Calicium citrate and magnesium citrate. While none of the substitutions are that close in energy to real Tiger bone, they can be functional substitutions.

The same problems extend to the unethical use of Bear gallbladder. Substitutions such as racoon gallbladder, pig gallbladder, or commericially available bile sales may be used. And, again, while not the same energy as Bear gallbladder, they are ethical and functional substitutions.

Outside of these cautions, the book presents a nice mixture of classical, unique, and patent herbal formulas that have been used for hundreds of years. It makes a good starting place for martial artists who are interested but unfamiliar with herbal medicines.

This book has some very harsh opinion sections regarding work of prior authors regarding 'whiplash' injury. Additionally, the first person tense is used in many of the chapters. These two factors leads one to question whether this is a scientifically sound publication, or the authors' opinion piece on 'whiplash'.

The lack of a well respected and well published co-author in the medical (M.D.) or engineering arena (PhD) also lends to some severe deficits. An engineer learns the fundamentals of engineering from engineering professors. A medical doctor learns the fundamentals of medicine from medical doctors. Since this book lacks either of these resources, an introductory section on biomechanics, written by a Doctor of Chiropractic, does not seem nearly as robust as it should, and it severely lacks technical competency. Many of the sections on medical diagnosis and treatment, including conclusions raised regarding cervical soft collars, would also be at odds with existing clinical knowledge of injury mechanisms and best treatment methods.

The authors repeatedly bring up examples of their own work and how it has been cited minimally or not cited at all in the greater scientific literature. There is probably a very good reason for this; attacking other authors' work repeatedly and systematically without acknowledging many of the positives in this other work causes many readers to discount the conclusions reached in this book. This is also likely the reason why this book, being six years old, appears to never have been taken off the shelves of the local major medical center library.

A better suggestion would be to review a collection of books, including this one and perhaps Dr. Narayan Yoganandan's 'Whiplash' book from 2000 or Nahum's 'Accidental Injury' from 2002, and let the reader draw their own conclusions of the scientific validity contained therein.

It is not often that you find authors who have so thoroughtly referenced a subject. It is written with a good command of the English language and is carefulle reasoned.

This book should finally lay to rest the myth that whiplash is somehow "not real", a notion that the insurance industry is most likely propagating.

This gem of a book is a must for all clinicians involved in the care and treatment of whiplash and its related disorders. It is also essential reading for all those insurance industry claims reps who are truly concerned about their insured injured persons, and not just their jobs!

If you are a physician who treats whiplash patients, or an attorney trying to understand the hows and whys, this book is the absolute BEST there is. 'Nuff Said.

Croft and Foreman are to be greatly commended on this work, the BEST in the field of whiplash traumatology. Apparently, there will be a 3rd edition coming soon.

The nonsense coming from Canada this year, including the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Cassidy study (April 2000) and anything that Robert Ferrari has written, and is likely to write (Whiplash "Encyclopedia"), is an utter shame. The author of the recent NEJM study (Cassidy) has been accused of falsifying data (Emma Bartfay, PhD vs. Cassidy), and the views of QTF and Ferrari on chronic whiplash have been refuted over and over again.

Research in this field is of two types, with one out-weighing the other exponentially: insurance company-sponsored stuff such as Cassidy's, the "Quebec Task Force" or "QTF" study(1995), and much of the Ferrari literature IS VASTLY OUTWEIGHED by the other 95% of the university-based and engineering research that refutes it.

This book, especially in its new edition (pending), is and will be the definitive treatise on whiplash-related injuries. It is not written for the layperson, and covers complex medical topics. However, for physicians and health care professionals working with the whiplash-injured, it is indispensable.

When all the hubbub surrounding the latest weak studies from Canada subsides, Foreman and Croft's work will still be standing tall and unscathed. And that is because these two authors understand the difference between a strong study and a weak one. It is NOT true that you can use the research to prove anything. For example, the April 2000 NEJM study by Cassidy et al. states that when you remove the tort system, whiplash-injured persons miraculously heal faster. But upon closer inspection, it turns out that the authors of this study equate "recovery" with "return to work". They did not report on the physical exam findings of their research subjects at the time of claim closure (so-called "recovery"), so we do NOT really have an honest study.

With Ferrari, he is just so out in left field that one cannot imagine how he survives. The only answer must be that insurance company money is paying for his "research". Is it? Ferrari has been refuted over and over again by Croft and Michael Freeman, DC, PhD, MPH in the literature (see SPINE 1998 and 1999). Ferrari is actually on record as saying that chronic whiplash pain is from a psychological disturbance.

The 1995 QTF study is on record as saying that pain "is not harmful". These are doctors?

Of course, if you have had a brain injury and have been diagnosed with MTBI (mild traumatic brain injury), which is often permanent, there is psychological disturbance. But this is not what Ferrari argues. He basically believes that the millions and millions of chronic whiplash sufferers world-wide are all faking it.

Nikolai Bogduk, one of the top, if not the top, researchers in the world in the study of pain, has conclusively proved that whiplash injuries, even at VERY LOW SPEEDS (less than 5 mph) do damage the cervical zygapophyseal (facet capsules) or "z" joints of the neck, and that those injured in this way have chronic pain, and often full (actually too much) range of motion in their necks. The recent excellent crash tests by Ono, Kanno, Siegmund, Brault, Croft himself, and many, many others all confirm Bogduk's findings in a very conclusive way.

The fact that "researchers" like Cassidy, Ferrari, Russell, and now the NEJM never cite these authors, who are the most respected in the field, is certainly suspect.

I look forward to the next edition of this book, which should address all of the misinformation being propagated by the insurance industry and its representatives (do they fear an even larger class-action suit than big tobacco? You betcha!). Then we can all know the real science, well-written and more thoroughly referenced than any book on whiplash to date.

A Tour de Force! Is there going to be a Third Edition? Let us hope so, given Arthur Croft's ability to consume, digest and make palatable to us the most recent research on the topic of whiplash. Fortunately, Dr. Croft is still writing (see his articles in SPINE with co-author Dr. Michael Freeman), and still at the forefront of the profession. As a chiropractic physician, his contributions are all the more important in the medical world, which often borrows from alternative health without crediting it. Not so with Croft, who is credited in medical circles worldwide. A thoroughly readable, well-referenced and enjoyable textbook which will open your mind to a syndrome (group of injuries, really) so misunderstood.

Any physician without this text on his/her shelves should not be treating persons injured by whiplash.

I recently read this book hoping to get a new perspective on a very common problem that is not always treated effectively. I do feel the shoulder joint can be involved. However, this book offered no significant treatments if the shoulder is indeed involved. It just kept repeating (multiple times) that the shoulder joint is the problem. He, the author, could teach you further treatments however. I'm sure at an additional cost of a seminar. No thanks!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Rahn's for about a year. My carpal tunnel, misdiagnosed by another chiropractor, was almost at a point of no return.
Roger used his technique of massage and ultrasound and I'm almost 100%,
WITHOUT SURGERY!!! Knowing the physiology of thoracic outlet syndrome
helps understand why this method works. I encourage professionals learn
this technique.

As a patient of Dr. Rahn's, I was excited to review his book as I have experienced the remarkable results his techniques can bring. When I first began treatments almost 4 years ago, I had been diagnosed with bone on bone presentation and told by a medical doctor that I needed knee replacement for both knees. Thanks to regular deep tissue and chiropractic treatments, I am pain free and have regained enough strength and mobility to return to full time employment. Thankfully, I no longer take pain meds and am not even considering surgery.

Dr. Rahn has accomplished a lot for many patients, and his book makes it possible for even more to be helped with other practitioners using his revolutionary techniques. It is written so that both professionals and their patients can benefit and learn. Highly recommended!!

This book is totally aweseome! Not only does it give an indepth explanation of chiropractic adjustments, techniques, theories, and so on, but it also deals with the issue of "how to correct the problem". Today, there are so many chiropractors out there that spend about 2 minutes with you "snap, crackle, and pop", charge you $50.00 and throw you out the door...without ever fixing the problem! This book is incredible considering that it focuses on the treatments and how to get yourself better. THe section which talks about Carpel Tunnel is excellent, and if you, or someone you know has carpel tunnel, you need to buy this book. It will help you immensely! Carpel Tunnel is very serious, and it stops us from doing what we love...such as playing the guitar, typing, and just every day activities. This book tells us how to "correct" the problem and reverse the carpel tunnel.

Review by Medical Editor Aug. 30, 2005
"Dr. Rahn: I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your work. You have a great writing style that makes complex terms and ideas appear simple which is not easy to do. I found I wanted to continually read on and never got bored, well done! "

Coach Damon Martin is a very smart man. He knows so much about running. This is a key book to anyone that doesn't run, or does run. All in all you have to read this book!

Despite the corny title, this book packs a ton of good information into its chapters. Damon Martin is not just a coach, but a true "Road Scholar" whose fluency in the science behind his training program is apparent in every chapter. At the same time, the book is not at all technical and is accessible to a wide audience.

His insights into applying different types of workouts and periodization in training are some of the best I've seen. The information on weight training, cross training, stretching and nutrition were also helpful. I've never been disciplined about stretching before or after I run, but after reading this book I see that this small step could really help my running.

Finally, the anecdotes from his years as a college coach are inspiring, heart-warming, and at times hilarious. Any veteran or beginning runner will appreciate the stories that animate this monograph. Coach Martin has written a book that will stand the test of time!

I think this was a well written book and will be enjoyed by many aspiring runners and atheletes. This will allow them to train injury free.

This book gave me great ideas for my training program. I have been a runner off and on for years with not much success and lots of nagging injuries. After reading this, I can see several areas where I can improve my plan and stay healthy as I am trying to keep on my running schedule. I appreciate the simple and easy to use language. Love the stories about the runners, very heartwarming and inspiring.

This book has some good information in it about preventing and treating injuries, but isn't very in-depth. No attempt is made at thoroughly explaining why various injuries happen ( from a medical viewpoint) and more attention is paid to the author's glory stories than useful information ( like how to start out as a beginner). As an asthmatic, I found the half page treatment of asthmatic runners useless. The author basically advises all asthmatics to take medication if they want to run at all. This book might be good for high school runners looking to make it in the world of college cross-country, but it's not for everyone. The editing is also terrible ( English majors beware!). The text is full of mistakes ( "access" instead of "assess," "your" instead of "you," subject-verb agreement, etc.). It looks like it was run through spell check once and then sent to the presses. You can tell it was written by a coach by the simple, vague language. I'm sure there are a lot better references out there that get the point across more clearly and concisely.

I needed this book for a Radiology in Rehabilitation class and it came to me in great condition. I got a good price for it and it was still in its plastic when I received it about a week later. This book was well-needed and the seller did a timely job!

The textbook has several nice introductory chapters on imaging basic science, reading principles (for x-rays), and the role of physical therapists with imaging practice. the x-rays are of good quality and size and the schematic labels are pretty thorough. The CD is a nice adjunct for active learning, however, it is a bit limited in structures to label and # of views to test yourself on.

As an educator, it would be very nice if the publisher would place the images, tables, figures on a CD for teachers to drop into powerpoint slides or have PDF documents of the chapters. Additionally, future editions may wish to include more views with x-ray imaging on the CD and include more images with pathology on the CD

One major limitation to this textbook is the lack of MR and CT images. The title "....Musculoskeletal Imaging" suggests a global approach. However, this text primarily contains x-ray images. If you're going to adopt as a textbook, you will need to supplement heavily using other textbooks and resources for the MR and CT images. If your class will include thorax and pelvis, you will definetely need another textbook or resource to cover those topics as these are not addressed with this text.

For textbook supplementation, I recommend anyone check out the following resources:

1) Orthopaedic Imaging a Practical Approach by Greenspan (nice mix of imaging types and labeling; excellent desk reference)
2) Clinical Imaging by Dennis Marchiori (excellent resource for extreme details of x-ray labeling, imaging of torso and pelvis, and nice chapters on normal variants in imaging by region)-this text is pretty heavy on x-ray also
3) Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Orthopedics and Sports Medicine by David Stoller (the most thorough textbook on MR imaging I've seen to date)
4) Radiology 101 by William Erkonen (nice general overview text; contains neuroimaging and thorax and pelvis)

The content is excellent. For the most part, the author does a nice job of presenting the material in an easily understood manner. I would have liked to see more information on normal views of each joint presented, including CT and MRI various views. A reference to a radiographic atlas may be helpful. I would have liked to see more arrows pointing to the part in question. The film may be labled ACL tear for example, but an arrow pointing exactly to where the tear is would be helpful for beginners like my self. More in depth information about fracture hardware and explanation of load sharing vs load bearing would have been nice. There are a number of typos and printing errors. The book lists answers to the chapter review questions but does not include some chapters. On more than one occasion, the book refers the reader back to a table or figure in a previous chapter but the table or figure does not end up being at all connected to why they referred you back.

this book was a nice compliment to learning. nice illustrations and smooth reading. will be able to use as a resource for future, not just the class that i bought it for

Written by a PT and great for non-radiologists. Line drawings with pictures overlays to plain films helpful. Must have for PT personal library.
