This is a complete guide to the diagnostic evaluation of knee injury and disease that shows all the presently known tests and examination procedures. The clear text and accompanying illustrations lead to a full understanding of the various possible procedures and their appropriate use and value. Special attention is given to clinical examination and differential diagnosis. Separate sections of the book deal with injuries of the capsuloligamentous structures, the menisci and the femoropatellar joint. Here the lesser known but important examination techniques are included. Other sections map out in detail radiographic studies, MRI, sonography, and arthroscopy. The discussion of the machine evaluation of laxity and rare diagnostic procedures points the way through unknown territory. This unique reference is the perfect diagnostic companion for every knee specialist involved in clinical examination procedures.
