This volume provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of imaging of the hip. In the first part of the book, the various techniques employed when imaging the hip are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, computed tomography, ultrasound and MRI.

The second part then documents the application of these techniques to the diverse application and diseases encountered in the hip. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental abnormalities, trauma, metabolic bone disease, infection, arthritis and tumours. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field and a wealth of illustrative material is included.

This book will be of great value to radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and other clinicians with an interest in the hip pathology.

Doctors, lawyers and other professionals often need to make an assessment of a person’s mental capacity. This book helps to support these professionals by giving them a fuller understanding of the law in all situations where an assessment of capacity may be needed. Written by experts from a variety of disciplines, Assessment of Mental Capacity combines clarity as to the law with a practical, jargon-free approach to provide guidelines on issues ranging from medical treatment to making a will, sexual decision-making and capacity in the context of the Mental Health Act 1983.

If you're unsure if you have 24 access, the best way to check is try to use the library outside usual opening hours. If you're unable to get in and think you may want to use us over Easter there is still time to ask us for 24 hour access.

All MWL Libraries will be unstaffed on Good Friday and Easter Monday 🪻 However, if you already have 24-hour access, you can still use the libraries during this time. You can also get online access to all our resources if you're a library member
