Inhaltsangabe

This is not just another book on the knee. Dr. Fanelli's book, The Multiple Ligament Injured Knee: A Practical Guide to Management, written with a team of experienced contributors, is about a subject that is pertinent, as well as often underestimated and underappreciated. The surgeon's thorough knowledge of this subject is essential for the care of the patient with multiple ligaments injured in the knee. Such knowledge is indispensable if the patient's well-being and future function are to be restored. Time, technique, judgment, and decisiveness are critical. These are the surgeon's responsibilities. We have all come to be arthroscopic knee surgeons. We cannot, however, let this diminish our judgment or skill in open surgery. Often in the multi ply compromised knee, open surgery is a requisite. We must return to the principles that Drs. O'Donoghue, Slocum, Hughston, Trillat, Mueller-the fathers of modern knee surgery-taught us. Open exposure may be essen tial in some cases; we must know when it is necessary. This textbook helps resolve the impasse that often occurs in this arena of evolving art and science. Young surgeons who were not there before the arthroscope might not appreciate the awful injury that frequently is associated with the mul tiligament knee injury. We all know Dr. O'Donoghue's firm dictum that early diagnosis and anatomic repair is the best and most appropriate method of treatment. Time has not invalidated this advice.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Multiple Ligament Injured Knee: A Practical Guide to Management presents the orthopedic surgeon with an unprecedented review of the most recent and advanced information available on the successful diagnosis and treatment of multiple ligament knee injuries. Gregory C. Fanelli, MD, handpicked internationally renowned contributors to ensure that the clearly written guide is valuable for orthopedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, sports medicine fellows, physical therapists, physician assistants, and all other health professionals who treat traumatic injuries of the knee. The comprehensive volume covers the basic anatomy and biomechanics of the knee as well as the assessment and classification of knee injuries. Although the chapters build upon each other, they can also stand alone as practical, quick references. The format is particularly useful given the extensive number of treatment techniques that are examined, including nonoperative, arthroscopic, and open surgical approaches. Vascular and nerve injuries are addressed in addition to various ACL/PCL/Medial/Lateral injuries. Chapters on postoperative rehabilitation, possible complications, and brace treatment provide additional insight. The definitive text is completed by select case studies that demonstrate how highlighted approaches are applied. Techniques are also reinforced by a wealth of line drawings and photographs.
