This book supplies all the information that the young orthopaedic surgeon needs to know when preparing to perform total or partial knee replacement for the first time and also provides more experienced surgeons with a comprehensive general update on the basics.

This book brings together a comprehensive set of chapters that cover the basic principles of fast track surgery, clinical enhancements, but also important aspects of project management and change management in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.Although the value of care pathways and fast track surgery are probably well known by almost everyone, there are still too many differences in arthroplasty care not only around the world, but also within countries. How can it be that the fast track principles are implemented so poorly? Probably because it looks so simple, yet it's so complex that many doctors don't know where to start. This handy book, published in collaboration with ESSKA, provides an easy-to-consult guide that summarize the most important notions in a concise, accessible way.

This book addresses the need for improved diagnostic and treatment guidelines for patients in whom total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has had an unsatisfactory outcome. A series of illustrative cases cover clinical scenarios frequently encountered in daily clinical practice.

This book, comprising the Instructional Course Lectures delivered at the 18th ESSKA Congress in Glasgow in 2018, provides an excellent update on current scientific and clinical knowledge in the field of Orthopaedics and Sports Traumatology.

This book is designed to meet the needs of both novice and senior researchers in Orthopaedics by providing the essential, clinically relevant knowledge on research methodology that is sometimes overlooked during training. Readers will find a wealth of easy-to-understand information on all relevant aspects, from protocol design, the fundamentals of statistics, and the use of computer-based tools through to the performance of clinical studies with different levels of evidence, multicenter studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and economic health care studies. A key feature is a series of typical case examples that will facilitate use of the volume as a handbook for most common research approaches and study types. Younger researchers will also appreciate the guidance on preparation of abstracts, poster and paper presentations, grant applications, and publications. The authors are internationally renowned orthopaedic surgeons with extensive research experience and the book is published in collaboration with ISAKOS.
