Product Description
Review
The strength of the format used is that the reader does not have to wade through chapters of preamble to find the essence of the book. With one hundred x-ray cases to work through the reader is unlikely to get bored and indeed may find the book rather addictive as they try to determine what injuries are represented. This book would be useful for any practitioner with an interest in improving or developing their skills surrounding radiograph reading. Reasonably priced at £29.00, an individual copy is not out of the question, however it is more likely that departments would purchase this book as a resource for practitioners and students. --Journal of Orthopaedic Nursing
Synopsis
The number of professions that review and formulate a written report/opinion on trauma radiographs has increased over the last ten years to include nurse practitioners, radiographers and radiographer practitioners. Radiographer practitioners post-training formulate first and second (final) reports, depending on training and which Trust they work in. For many years radiographers have been 'red dotting' casualty radiographs, although now with increased knowledge obtained from the many 'red dot' courses available. This book is intended to be like sitting in on a reporting session with a radiologist or radiographer practitioner, where you are asked to report/comment on the radiograph, but also asked some questions and given feedback. It is intended to support whatever course you have done whether it be reporting, 'red dotting' or commenting or to encourage you to go on 'that course'. It can be used as a revision book, or to help in preparation for an assessment. However you use it, I hope it will encourage you to read more, research more into musculoskeletal trauma and its radiographic appearance; for it is a fascinating topic and there is always more to learn!

Format:Paperback
The book contains clear images and full and informative explainations of interpretation findings. It describes structured and systematic review of x-rays and links mechanism of injury with anticipated findings. It has taught me a great deal about limb imaging and is ideal for those who are ready to progress from basic to advanced x-ray interpretation.

I also feel this book is better suited to those with previous knowledge and relative newcomers to the area like me. More detailed cases and the actual fractures being arrowed may have helped. The xrays were not at all clear on my kindle.

Format:Paperback
I ordered this book as a gift for my daughter when she passed her foundation degree and was disappointed when it arrived looking shabby and pre-owned. A note enclosed in the book explained that this worn appearance was a manufacturing problem that was being fixed and in the meantime the price had not been increased. I would have preferred to know in advance about this so that I had the option to buy one of the other books on her reading list.
