The complexity of knee surgery and the frequency with which it is performed makes the procedures of this joint more prone to complications than any other. Combining years clinical expertise of world reknowned surgeons, Knee Surgery: Complications, Pitfalls and Salvage is the only book that provides the surgeon with a comprehensive guide to the many types of complications the knee surgeon will encounter in arthroscopic surgery, meniscal surgery, the reconstruction of ligaments, patello-femoral surgery, fractures around the knee, and prosthetic knee arthroplasty. This unique volume, with over 400 line drawings and photographs, also instructs the surgeon on avoiding pitfalls and salvaging a procedure. No orthopaedic surgeon can afford to perform knee surgery without a copy of this knee saving guide on the bookshelf.
