This review is from: MRI of the Musculoskeletal System (Hardcover)

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.
