Cartilage injuries of the knee are common, and diagnosis and treatment options have continued to evolve.  This book focuses on current non-operative and surgical treatment strategies for articular cartilage injuries, highlighting the controversies and different approaches from an international perspective.  

This book includes information on the basic science of cartilage structure and function, expert perspectives on imaging and diagnosing, as well as work-up of athletes and patients presenting with acute or chronic cartilage injury. It also provides an evidence base for current cutting-edge cartilage repair and restoration.

Written by leading experts in the field, the book, published in collaboration with ISAKOS and ICRS, is vital reading for orthopaedic and sports medicine surgeons, fellows and residents.  It is also of interest to sports trainers, physiotherapists, medical students, postgraduate students, and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists.

This practical case-based book assists clinicians in the evaluation and treatment of patellofemoral patients by reviewing critical elements for assessment and presenting clinical scenarios in which different experts provide their recommendations for treatment.

Subdivided in 6 parts it explores the joint’s anatomy and mechanics, as well as case-based evaluation and treatment of patellofemoral instability, arthritis and chondrosis, traumatic injuries and degenerative tendinopathies. Moreover, the closing part offers an overview of the latest advances and future developments.

Written in collaboration with ISAKOS, this book offers a valuable guide for orthopedists and sports medicine treating common and complex injuries of this joint.

The first section covers basic topics, ranging from joints homeostasis and biomechanics, to genetics, bio-orthopedics, tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. The following sections are each dedicated to a specific joint – its functional anatomy, pathologic conditions, diagnostics and treatment.

This book is of interest to orthopedists and sports medicine specialists treating common and complex injuries of the joints.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving field of regenerative medicine, including key breakthroughs in clinical therapies. It is further aimed at facilitating ethical, high-quality research in Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics.

Set apart by its unique structure, it bridges the gap between basic science and practical applications. Divided into three distinct sections, it begins by laying a strong foundation, delving into the biological and molecular underpinnings of regenerative medicine, including stem cells, growth factors, gene editing, tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and bio-manufacturing. The second section takes readers on a journey into the clinical applications of regenerative medicine, offering valuable guidance and insights for practitioners. The third section, dedicated to future trends and bio-materials’ applications, sheds new light into the evolving landscape of this field.

By providing a structured, comprehensive, and up-to-date resource, it equips researchers, clinicians, residents and students with the knowledge needed to make a positive impact in this ever-expanding domain. Written in collaboration with ISAKOS, this volume serves as an invaluable tool in advancing readers’ understanding and practice in the field.
