Advances in Orthopedic Surgery of the Knee

This book reviews current state-of-the-art knowledge on knee surgery, covering all relevant topics, ranging from meniscus repair and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to total knee arthroplasty. Although many of the interventions to treat meniscal, anterior cruciate ligament, patellofemoral osteoarthritis and femorotibial osteoarthritis are globally accepted, there are still many controversies as to which one is the most appropriate for each injury. Written by orthopedic surgeons from leading institutions specialized in the treatment of knee injuries, this volume critically discusses and sheds new light on these controversies.
