This pocket-sized guide provides a practical and comprehensive resource for orthopedic, PM&R, and musculoskeletal specialists, as well as primary care physicians who work in the community outpatient clinic setting. Its consistent chapter format covers each area with anatomy, physical examination, preoperative management, and postoperative rehabilitation sections for the spine and extremities.

The book presents treatment protocols for various injuries, including physical therapy measures such as weight bearing status, PRE, closed or open chain exercises, and timing for returning to routine or sport activities. Its concise presentation of rehabilitation for the upper and lower extremities, the hip and pelvis, and the spine enables quick reference and clinical decision-making.

Furthermore, the book includes a chapter on rehabilitation following the use of orthobiologics, making it a valuable resource for healthcare professionals involved in orthopedic rehabilitation after regenerative interventions.

This is the first machine-generated literature overview on the ligaments of the knee. Introduced and curated by experts in knee surgery, it provides a sound summary of the current knowledge base on knee ligamentous anatomy, kinematics and surgical procedures. 

The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the editors of this book. The editors of this book selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that these are extractive auto-summaries, which consist of original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper, since we do not show the full length of the publication. Also note that only published SN content is represented here, and that machine-generated books are still at an experimental stage.

This book discusses total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with respect to the status of the cruciate ligaments in the replacement. The evolution of knee replacements, along with basic anatomy and kinematics of the knee, open up the presentation, with subsequent chapters on the present state of the art for each design with respect to the cruciate ligaments. The next chapters describe current and developing surgical techniques and technologies for various partial and total knee arthroplasty, including robotic and artificial intelligence techniques. Concluding chapters cover physical therapy following TKA, comparative kinematic analysis of modern designs, and future considerations for management. 

With authors from a variety of backgrounds - biomechanics experts, arthroplasty surgeons, rehabilitation physicians and physical therapists - this book will appeal to a broad audience including surgeons in practice, residents in training, surgeons involved in new knee designs, biomechanical engineers, and the physical therapists.
