The 102 cases unknown and 217 supplemental cases throughout depict scenarios encountered in daily practice, with emphasis on the growing area of sports injuries and traumatic disorders in older children and adolescents. The cases are illustrated with nearly 600 high-resolution MRI images, as well as complementary plain films, scintigrams, and CT scans. Each case outlines the clinical history, findings, and differential diagnosis. Clinical pearls, questions and answers, and concluding summaries are also included. An orthopedic surgeon provides commentary where appropriate to share the insight gained from sports medicine.
