Présentation de l'éditeur
A fully updated edition of the classic text on the knee; The Problem Knee 3rd edition is highly illustrated in colour and offers a fundamental approach to dealing with soft-tissue and skeletal disorders of the knee. The book focuses on younger patients, rather than degenerative conditions, covering both injuries and congenital abnormalites.
The crucial skills of accurate history-taking, clinical examination, investigation and modern surgical management are the focus throughout. From this framework, the latest techniques in imaging and arthroscopic procedures, rehabilitation methods and cruciate ligament reconstruction are discussed, plus indications for techniques such as meniscal suturing and osteochondral grafting.
