"This excellent book is written by two very experienced orthopaedic surgeons - Malcolm Macnicol and Franky Steenbrugge - but aimed at non-surgeon clinicians who are more likely to be the first point of contact for the younger patient with a knee problem. ... The authors explain the common mechanisms of knee injury, and the symptoms with which the patient is likely to present. ... This is a wonderful book to give a clinician a thorough taste and feel of the range of primary disorders of the knee with which the younger patient might present to them. It deliberately omits secondary problems and disorders common to the older patient, but this is made clear from the title of the book."—Dr. Sheila Strover, book review appearing on www.kneeguru.co.uk, February 18, 2015
