The latest edition of this pioneering text atlas incorporates all
the advances that have taken place in the field over the last
decade. Minimally invasive procedures are now established as the
method of choice for many applications in equine orthopaedic
surgery, not only as an aid to diagnosis, but also as an
alternative to conventional surgery. The text has been completely
revised and massively expanded to reflect the rapid growth of this
specialty, and covers many important new applications and
techniques. This latest edition also features new, full colour,
high resolution images throughout, including digital video. It
remains the most comprehensive reference available, yet still
retains the established text-atlas format, and continues to provide
readers with both authoritative comment and practical guidance on
all aspects of this important technique. Diagnostic images with
side-by-side radiographs and illustrations offer multiple points of
view and directional guidance on surgical procedures. Expert
authorship features helpful insights and expertise from the
worldwide leader and speaker on equine arthoscopy, Wayne
McIlwraith. Specially commissioned artwork clearly illustrates
local anatomy and key stages of surgical procedures. Coverage of
choice, use, and maintenance of equipment provides a basic
understanding of arthroscopic technique and reasoning behind
various practices. Content dedicated to diagnostic and surgical
arthroscopy of the horse provides authoritative, comprehensive
information on this specialized subject. NEW! Updated
high-definition images provide a crystal clear view of surgical
procedures from multiple views. NEW! Companion website features 48
high-resolution digital videos that link back to the textbook for a
vivid demonstration of surgical techniques. NEW! Expanded content
ensures you are up to date on the latest developments in the field
- particularly in the areas of tenoscopy, bursoscopy, and
arthroscopic methods for cartilage repair. NEW! Chapter on
postoperative management, adjunctive therapies, and rehabilitation
procedures keeps you abreast of best practices when it comes to
taking care of the horse post-operation.
