This atlas comes at a time when arthroscopy is becoming increasingly more popular than traditional approaches due to the rapid postoperative recovery, reduced pain and accelerated return to physical activity making it the ideal treatment in sports medicine. After performing thousands of knee arthroscopy and anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions over the last ten years, the authors have drawn upon their extensive experience to provide a practical start up guide for residents and young orthopedic surgeons alike.
The
Atlas of Knee Arthroscopy contains detailed explanations on performing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, as well as potential pitfalls. The expert opinions are supported with many photographs and case examples and the book is structured in a simple yet comprehensive manner. This approach to the topic is intended for anyone interested in knee arthroscopy and ACL reconstruction wishing to access a wealth of current data in one concise resource.
