About this title

Review

"This book describes specific procedures in a systematic way that makes abundant use of focused, original diagrams. Each chapter has been edited by a specialist who has specific expertise and experience in that area. Revision surgery and options are particularly well covered. The color diagrams are impeccable. The completeness of the treatise is evidenced by the inclusion of a chapter on knee arthrodesis and even the mention of arthroscopy for arthrofibrosis following knee replacement...What makes this book stand out is the appropriate and carefully selected color art work. It represents evidence for the age-old adage that "a picture is worth a thousand words.""
