This book is part of a series of practical manuals on interventional radiology initiated by Professor Graham Whitehouse of the University of Liverpool. Each title covers the more common techniques, written in didactic style with accompanying high quality illustrations. Rather than duplicate the larger, more general books on interventional radiology, the aim here has been to give a personal view of how a number of experienced interventionalists approach each procedure, highlighting such aspects as choice of equipment, pitfalls, complications and trouble-shooting. Interventional techniques have replaced conventional surgery in the management of many disorders of the muscles and skeleton, minimising morbidity and the length of stay in hospital. In this book a team of experienced authors from Europe, USA and Australia cover all the interventional techniques used in skeletal radiology. This book will appeal to trainee and practising radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons faced with the practicalities of performing interventional diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
