AANA Advanced Arthroscopy: The Knee

"Fifty-seven international specialists contribute 28 chapters to one text in a five-book series providing clinicians with state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques for the shoulder, elbow and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle. The opening section covers basics, including setup, diagnosis, portals, approaches, and complications of knee arthroscopy. Subsequent sections, covering meniscal, patellar, arthritis and cartilage, and ligamentous procedures and techniques, discuss disease-specific options, managing and avoiding complications, and rehabilitation protocols. Hot topics addressed include chondrocyte transplantation techniques, proximal tibial osteotomy, anatomic single bundle ACL reconstruction, single bundle PCL reconstruction, inlay PCL reconstruction, and anatomic reconstruction of the posterolateral corner. The material is illustrated throughout with full-color photographs and interpretive drawings. The accompanying CD-ROM contains 14 videos of techniques; users can also access the fully searchable text and supplemental materials online."-Book News, Inc.
