This text was first published in 1984 and was intended to provide a concise, yet lavishly illustrated and comprehensive introduction to the pathology of bone and joint disorders. The target audience was trainees in orthopaedics, radiology, and pathology. Orthopaedic Pathology was one of the early textbooks to be published in full color and this I believe helped to make an understanding of the subject under discussion much more accessible to those whose daily work did not involve the use of the microscope.
Using various imaging techniques, the radiologist may observe the virtual morbid anatomic changes associated with musculoskeletal disease. The histologist in his intent to interpret tissue sections is helped considerably by both clinical and radiologic correlation; without such correlation, serious mistakes are possible. With these thoughts in mind, in the illustration of the conditions under discussion, I have tried to make use of the various imaging techniques now available, and a splendid chapter, written for the nonspecialist by Professor Judith Adams and her colleague Dr. Sarah Jackson, on imaging techniques, interpretation, and strategies is included in the text.
Most of the gross photographs and photomicrographs used in the book were taken over the many years of my professional life. Many of the clinical radiographs are from the Radiology Department at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and I thank all the members of that department for their assistance especially Drs. Robert Freiberger, Robert Schneider, and Douglas Mintz. Additional illustrations have been generously contributed by numerous colleagues throughout the world, mostly members of the International Skeletal Society, to whom I am extremely grateful.
Line drawings have been used to indicate specific features in photographs, and where the three-dimensional or temporal aspects of a structure must be shown, color schematic drawings or anatomic drawings are provided.
The bibliography is arranged by chapter, and subdivided by disease. Nowadays the availability of the internet obviates the need for exhaustive bibliographies. So I have focused on including older references that have been useful to me and that may be less accessible via the internet.
