The Patella provides a comprehensive, practical approach to the management of disorders of the patella and extensor mechanism of the knee. Discussions of the basic sciences, physical exam and imaging of the patellofemoral joint are followed by treatment options, including arthroscopy, osteotomy, surgical management of patellar malalignment, patellofemoral arthritis, conservative care, and complications of surgery. Additional chapters include problems in the young patient and rehabilitation. With over 300 illustrations, this book is a must for all orthopaedic surgeons and residents.

This book covers all the basics of the knee for practicing orthopedic surgeons and residents who are finishing their training and preparing for the board examinations. The text begins with chapters on the anatomy, physical examinations, and imaging, before proceeding on to pediatric considerations, arthroscopic techniques, ligament injuries, trauma, reconstructions, and the future of knee replacement surgery.

There are many textbooks on the knee but no recent one has addressed the entire area of the knee from start to finish.

This is the first comprehensive reference on minimally invasive techniques in orthopedic surgery of the hip and knee. MIS techniques are gaining popularity worldwide because they are associated with lower morbidities and quicker recoveries than older, invasive procedures. The contributors are world-renowned surgeons who are proponents of MIS techniques in hip and knee arthroplasty. They describe surgical techniques in a step-by-step fashion, supported by instructive photographs and line drawings. Each chapter includes indications, contra-indications, surgical techniques and practical advice, post-operative management, and clinical results.

Surgeons, residents, and fellows alike will find this thorough and focused handbook invaluable.

here, two well-known knee experts have assembled a group of leaders in the field to present a book encompassing the best techniques for total knee arthroplasty. Concise chapters cover indications, contraindications, complications, results, instrumentation, infection, preop planning, prosthetic choice, revision arthroplasty, and more -- with the emphasis on the best techniques and surgical "pearls". Supported by line drawings, intraoperative photographs and radiographs, this definitive volume will serve as the complete and quick reference on total knee arthroplasty.

Minimally Invasive Surgery in Orthopedics: Foot and Ankle Handbook contains all of the valuable chapters from Section III (The Knee) and selections from Section VI (Computer Navigation) of Scuderi and Tria's 2010 hardcover reference. Newly available in an affordable softcover format, this book covers minimally invasive procedures and techniques for the knee as well as computer navigation and robotics. The book is fully illustrated with more than one hundred pictures and clearly written for ease of understanding. Surgeons, residents and fellows alike will find this thorough and focused handbook invaluable.

This is a new and exciting period in orthopedic surgery. Times are cha- ing,and we are developing techniques to perform joint arthroplasty through smaller and smaller incisions in an effort to reduce the amount of int- operative trauma and expedite the path to recovery. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) leads to shorter hospital stays with quicker recoveries. The procedures may eventually be performed on an outpatient basis with an earlier return to daily activities and work. We have asked the leading world authorities in this ?eld of orthopaedics to contribute their ideas on these new techniques. Because so much of the technology is new, the authors cannot present signi?cant long-term foll- up. However, with their cooperation, we can present the most current knowledge about the ef?cacy of MIS. Thomas P. Sculco,Mark A. Hartzband, and Richard A. Berger have summarized their early experiences with m- imally invasive surgical total hip arthroplasty in a succinct manner. Paolo Aglietti, Jean-Noel A. Argenson, and David W. Murray have provided - depth impressions of the European experience with unicondylar knee arthroplasty. John A. Repicci, a pioneer in MIS knee surgery, presents his experience with unicondylar knee arthroplasty. Finally,Thomas M. Coon adds his own experience to give a glimpse into the future of MIS total knee arthroplasty. We are grateful to all of the authors and contributors to this text for their time and consideration. It is our hope that this work will be the foundation for the future of MIS total hip and knee arthroplasty.

The problems of the patellofemoral joint remain a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. In spite of many articles in scientific journals, an outstanding monograph, and several excellent textbook chapters, the patella is still an enigma in many respects. The etiology of patellar pain is controversial, and there is no completely satisfying explanation for its cause or its relationship to chondromalacia. Curiously, neither the widespread use of arthroscopy nor the advent of newer diagnostic tests such as CT scanning and magnetic resonance imaging have cast much light. Without a better understanding of why patellar disorders occur it is not surprising that there is no consensus on how to fix them. Arthros copy has contributed little except to the patient's psyche. The currently most popular surgical treatment for recurrent dislocation of the patella was first described 50 years ago. One concrete advance, albeit a small one, is a better understanding of the role of anatomical abnormalities and patellofemoral dysplasia in patellar instabilities. It gives me great pleasure that many of the contributors are, like Dr."

Designed as a concise guide to the essentials of total knee arthroplasty, as well as revision total knee arthroplasty, the text is ideal for orthopedic residents and surgeons. World-renowned experts cover basic principles and instrumentation, ligament releases, and bone defects. Fixation in total knee arthroplasty, both with cement and cementless, is considered. Complex topics regarding revision arthroplasty are detailed as well, including three-step technique, constrained total knee designs, and two-stage reimplantation for infected total knee arthroplasty. Revision of periprosthetic femur fractures and tibial periprosthetic fractures is also addressed. This practical book is an invaluable reference.
