Review

Trauma, 01-MAR-04, Volume 6, M A Green, FRCS(Orth), Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Honorary Senior Lecturer, University of Birmingham, UK -- "Overall, this represents an extremely useful book, dealing with more than just reconstruction of the knee, and it would be of great use both for reference and as an operative manual to any orthopaedic surgeon with an interest in knee surgery."-Trauma The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 01-OCT-03, Volume 85, Issue 10, Richard Iorio, MD, Lahey Clinic Medical Center, Burlington, MA -- "This is an extremely well-done and concise discussion of reconstructive knee surgery. The editor and authors have 'gotten it right' with their emphasis on practical details that will aid the reader in the approach to difficult surgical knee problems. This book will be helpful to any practicing orthopaedic surgeon who treats injuries of the adult knee. The text focuses on arthroscopic and less invasive surgical applications, which now comprise a substantial percentage of the operative procedures performed by orthopaedic surgeons. The goal of this text was to create easy-to-follow descriptions of operative techniques that would help practicing orthopaedic surgeons to meet the challenges of knee reconstructive surgery. This goal has certainly been accomplished."-The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
