The Crucial Principles in Care of the Knee thoroughly describes and illustrates the key principles in the diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of knee disorders.

Coverage includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of three new surgical procedures:

• microfracture for chondral injuries
• stimulation of the healing response in ligamentous injuries
• arthroscopic treatment of the degenerative knee

The Crucial Principles in Care of the Knee covers other topics including injury prevention, imaging, functional evaluation, and biomechanics and has more than 300 outstanding illustrations complement the text.
