The Case-Based Learning approach focuses learners and clinicians on the key elements for each diagnosis and helps develop a deep understanding of how to diagnose and treat each condition. This volume covers everyday clinical problems such as costosternal syndrome, Tietze’s syndrome, devil’s grip, fractured ribs, post-thoracotomy pain, acute and chronic pancreatitis, diverticulitis, and more. Cases unfold just the way they do in your clinic, and each chapter uses high-quality radiographic images, clinical photos, and full-color drawings to facilitate a clear, easy-to-understand approach to evaluation and diagnosis.
