In each case, the authors discuss in detail the context in which the errors were made, the resulting complications, and strategies for future prevention. The cases are organized by body region, beginning with the cranium and then moving to cases of the breast, chest and abdomen, spinal column, musculoskeletal and vascular systems.
Features:
118 case studies facilitate analysis and discussion of causes of errors and offer preventive strategies to transfer into daily practice
956 high-quality images and explanatory drawings illustrate the cases and pinpoint errors of interpretation and in decision making
