This book is a rich source of practical guidance on the management
of relatively young patients with osteoarthritis of the knee that
will assist physicians and allied health professionals in enabling
patients to remain active and sustain their quality of life. It
provides up-to-date knowledge on the available treatment options,
describes the evidence base for each option, and identifies the
appropriate timing and indications. The book opens by considering
the basic science behind osteoarthritis, which is critical to
management. The many nonsurgical treatment modalities are then
discussed, with particular focus on the importance of a
multidisciplinary approach. Subsequent chapters address the role of
surgical management, covering both techniques that attempt to
preserve and possibly restore the native knee joint, such as
meniscal and chondral surgery, arthroscopic debridement, and
osteotomy for realignment of the joint, and those that involve
joint replacement. The arthroplasty component of the text
encompasses all areas of prosthetic resurfacing, including
localized resurfacing, unicompartmental replacement, and total knee
replacement. The book has been produced in cooperation with ISAKOS
and the authors constitute an international faculty who provide a
truly global perspective on the subject.
