This text is from the respected Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery series. Each article follows a standard format; complete with tips from experts and step-by-step procedures with abundant color photographs and illustrations. Chapters are all written by leading authorities in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and the intent of the textbook is to expose readers to the preferred techniques and procedures of those highly skilled knee surgeons. Designed for both medical students and experienced surgeons. This edition contains techniques and technologies that have evolved since the last edition was printed in 2003. Sections now include surgical approaches, principles of TKA, computer navigation utilization, complex issues frequently confronted during surgery, revisions of failed knee surgeries, alternative treatments to TKA, and management of complications following surgery.
