This volume presents the most advanced and successful techniques for reconstructive knee surgery. The book is written by leading surgeons who discuss each surgical procedure as if they were working side by side with the reader - explaining the indications and rationale for the procedure, giving step-by-step instructions on technique, identifying pitfalls and potential complications, and offering tips for improving surgical results. For each procedure, every chapter covers: indications / contraindications, preoperative planning and patient evaluation, patient positioning and draping, specific surgical approaches and exposures, step-by-step account of surgical procedure, postoperative management, expected results, rehabilitation, possible complications and their management. This volume is illustrated with full-colour intraoperative photographs, as well as drawings and radiographs.
