I think this is more what you're looking for.

It's a super succinct description of most of the commonly used classification systems and acceptable tolerances in orthopaedics. It is of note however that there are not many images, if that is what you are looking for as a radiology resident. Handbook of fractures is also good, but is more like an abbreviated textbook.
