This new treatise is the most outstanding piece of work on the knee
and its associated ligaments currently available. Never before have
I seen such an extensive study of the biomechanics of the knee with
such a comprehensive review of the literature. The first section of
the book, which deals with the functional anatomy (structure and
biomechanics), immediately alerts the reader to the necessity of
understanding the natural develop ment and action of the related
structures, clearly emphasizing that successful diagnosis and
treatment cannot otherwise be expected; the many who want an easy
standard approach to each classic problem may find this hard to
accept. Study what Werner Muller has written and compare it with
your own findings from repeated dissection of anatomical specimens.
The author goes on to stress that to have a real grasp of
reconstructive surgery of the ligaments, one must be properly
acquainted with the pathology and the repair of acute lesions. In
no other way can one learn to recognize chronic problems. Once this
step has been mastered it can be seen that the reconstructive
procedures that Muller advocates do, for the most part, follow the
laws of Nature rather than create the kind of abnormalities which
often disrupt natural anatomical func tion.
