Features: The birth of this book, "Atlas of Joints - MR, Arthroscopy, and Surgical Anatomy," represents a special collaboration between radiology and orthopedics. In many ways, this book is a continuation of the second edition of "MRI of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine," incorporating many concepts formed in that book, combined with extensive data on MR imaging, arthroscopy, and surgical anatomy of over 600 anatomical specimens completed over the past six years. The book consists of six chapters, each divided into four sections: (1) Orthopedic perspective, (2) Normal MR anatomy, (3) Color anatomical diagrams, and (4) Correlative findings of MR, arthroscopy, and gross anatomical data. In each chapter, the orthopedic perspective is based on the principles of orthopedic experts who perform arthroscopy and surgical anatomy, linking general overviews with specific arthroscopic and surgical concepts. For example, Dr. Dye's view on the superficial layer of the knee is reflected in his surgical anatomy of the arcuate fascia and intermediate oblique layer in the anterior exposure of the knee, as well as in the meticulous dissection of the medial structures of the knee, including the semimembranous branch, posterior oblique ligament, and lateral collateral ligament. In the second section, phased array coils are used to obtain images of all six joints, and the normal MR anatomy is annotated in three different planes. Each joint's color image represents the current anatomical perspective and is closely tied to our experience in MR, arthroscopy, and surgical anatomy. Our collaboration is particularly evident in the following cases: In the shoulder joint chapter, the discussion and images of the biceps labral complex and the joint capsule-labral anatomy. In the elbow joint chapter, the images describing the ulnar collateral ligament and medial collateral ligament complex. In the wrist joint chapter, the description of the palmar and dorsal wrist ligaments. In the knee joint chapter, the description of the posterior medial and lateral structures, including current concepts such as the description of the popliteus ligament. In the ankle joint chapter, Dr. Ferkel's views on soft tissue impingement sites and the interrelationships among the posterior talofibular ligament, tibiofibular transverse ligament, and tibial cord are included. In each chapter's final section, studies on MR, arthroscopy, and orthopedic perspectives provide a direct comparison of anatomy and arthroscopy. The advantage of orthopedic experts' collaboration in this book is particularly evident in this section, where anatomical structures are directly compared in three forms.
