Knee disorders are among the most common musculoskeletal conditions and, as such, constitute four of the top seven orthopaedic procedures.

The reader-friendly book fills a gap in the literature with easy-to-follow procedural guidance and pearls from a global who’s who of top knee surgeons.
The book is organized in three sections covering trauma, sports medicine, and adult reconstruction. In addition to comprehensive step-by-step procedural techniques, each of the 54 chapters is consistently formatted with succinct sections covering goals, key principles, indications, contraindications, tips and pearls, potential complications, pitfalls, salvage techniques, and postoperative care. A full spectrum of open and arthroscopic knee surgery procedures are included, with discussion of primary and revision approaches.
