| Summary: | The current state of total knee replacement is critically evaluated in this book. It represents the compilation of thought of more than twenty orthopaedic surgeons from both the United States and Europe, whose experience in knee replacement in many cases goes back to the earliest days of the procedure. All aspects of the operation are covered, including biomechanics, surgical technique, and long-term results with both cemented and uncemented implants. There is also an extensive section on problem areas: the patella, infection, subsidence, bone loss, postoperative pain, and problems with the rheumatoid patient. The results and techniques described here will enable the reader to plan his own knee replacement surgeries. The book provides an excellent basis for further refining and perfecting this specialist surgical procedure. |
