Opis

The Multiple Ligament Injured Knee: A Practical Guide to Management includes the most developed knowledge needed to successfully diagnose and treat knee ligament injuries. This thorough work presents anterior and posterior cruciate and collateral ligament anatomy and biomechanics along with non-invasive methods for diagnosing the extent of injury, such as radiographic and arthroscopic evaluation. Various injuries are discussed in addition to useful treatment techniques, including arthroscopic reconstruction, posterolateral and posteromedial corner injury and treatment, assessment and treatment of vascular injuries, assessment and treatment of nerve injuries, rehabilitation, and post-operative results. Each of these clearly written chapters is accompanied by a wealth of line drawings and photographs that demonstrate both the surgical and non-surgical approaches to examination and treatment.

The Multiple Ligament Injured Knee, Second Edition is the definitive text on the successful diagnosis and treatment of multiple ligament knee injuries. Dr. Gregory C. Fanelli has once again recruited an international group of experts to create a reference suitable for orthopedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, sports medicine fellows, orthopedic surgery residents, physical therapists, physician assistants, and all health professionals who treat traumatic injuries of the knee. Vastly expanded from its first publication, new topics in this edition include:§-ACL based multiple ligament knee injury§-Mechanical graft tensioning§-Fracture dislocations§-Articular cartilage restoration§-Meniscus transplantation§-Extensor mechanism restoration§The book was designed to be read either by chapter or sequentially to facilitate personal exploration of the topic. Hundreds of illustrations and photographs facilitate easy comprehension of the text. Covering everything from anatomy and biomechanics through diagnosis, classification, both non-surgical and surgical management, complications and selected case studies, The Multiple Ligament Injured Knee, Second Edition, gives a complete picture of a complex pathologic entity.

Recenzje

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This is a practical guide to management of complex multiple ligament knee injuries from one of the gurus on the treatment of PCL injuries and his cadre of impressive contributors. ... The book is clearly aimed at practicing orthopedic surgeons who encounter patients with multiple ligament and complex knee injuries. ... Residents in training and practicing orthopedic surgeons will value the opportunity to look into the mind of one of the country's leading experts on complex knee injuries." (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2013)
