Following a two-page format, each case describes the initial presentation, findings, and differential diagnosis of a patient, and provides a combination of MR images, CT scans, and radiographs along with commentary and pearls. In each joint section, sport medicine and trauma cases are discussed first then congenital, systemic and metabolic diseases followed by arthritis and connective tissue and crystal deposition disorders, then infection and tumor-like lesions.
