Canine and Feline Arthrology and Arthroscopy

.

4 Stars! "...a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of canine and feline joint pathology, with particular emphasis on arthroscopy. The book is replete with images, bulleted lists, illustrations, tables and checklists, and a host of accompanying videos. The book achieves its goal of acting as an essential reference for becoming proficient in arthroscopy. It includes equipment lists, operating room setup, patient positioning, technical support needed, joint anatomy, helpful tips, and much more.... The authors are well known in the field of small animal orthopedics and have also drawn on the expertise of international contributors for a global perspective on treatment of joint disease in dogs and cats.... Stepwise images and videos for each joint accompany numbered procedural guides [and] most of the images and illustrations are of high quality.... [A] welcome addition to the field...[as] the authors provide a refreshing perspective and are both humble and funny at times as they reflect on their experiences.... a must-read for surgery residents, general practitioners who perform arthroscopy, and even experienced surgeons."
