Imaging in orthopedic surgery and other conditions of the musculoskeletal system.
Interest continues in total joint replacement and its complications. Now that noncemented arthroplasties have been introduced, further radiographic signs are being elucidated. The roles of bone scanning and aspiration arthrography are also being reevaluated. Ultrasonography has become the imaging modality of choice in congenital hip dysplasia and is being used increasingly in the evaluation of other musculoskeletal conditions. The ilizarov distraction osteogenesis technique is also discussed and there has been increasing interest in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and its sequelae.
