About this title

Synopsis

In this volume, leading experts examine current strategies in primary and revision total knee arthroplasty. The book begins with a discussion of the effects of health care reform on total joint surgery. Subsequent sections cover the design of knee prostheses; fixation; the patellar component; causes of failure in total knee arthroplasty; and fractures above and below total knee replacements. A section on revision total knee arthroplasty addresses issues such as instrumentation, ligament balancing, dealing with flexion contractures, autografting, and allografting. A section on diagnostic techniques includes discussions of imaging, outcome assessment, and the cost-effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty.
