This book is a comprehensive journey through the pathogenesis and treatment of meniscal pathology. It details the elements that are necessary to properly understand, diagnose, and treat meniscal tears, ranging from vertical tears to radial tears and root avulsions. Treatment techniques are thoroughly described and illustrated, with presentation of the latest evidence on outcomes. The algorithmic treatment of meniscal tears has undergone a rapid transformation. We have progressed from the initial treatments involving removal of the meniscus using an open technique, to the performance of partial meniscectomies and complex meniscal repairs by means of an arthroscopic technique. The current trea...

One of the hallmarks of a master surgeon is the ability to navigate a wide variety of inevitable difficult situations in surgery, whether errors in judgment, technical mistakes, or unavoidable outcomes. Complications in Orthopaedic Surgery is a new series designed to provide real-world guidance on recognizing and avoiding errors, as well as how to "course-correct during surgery. In this inaugural volume dedicated to sports medicine surgery, series editor Dr. Stephen R. Thompson and Dr. Matthew Schmitz describe and demonstrate practical solutions that are integral to improving patient outcomes. - Covers a wide variety of procedures, including meniscus repair and transplantation, revision ACL ...
Maybe it´s the strange name, but it's extraordinary how little attention the common condition in the knee named trochlear dysplasia (which means a flat groove in the kneecap) has received. Contrary to popular belief, at least in its mild forms, trochlear dysplasia is a common knee condition and doctors, orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and chiropractors who see, guide, and treat patients with anterior knee pain, unstable kneecaps, and osteoarthritis of the knee, should know about trochlear dysplasia. What causes the condition, what are the symptoms and how can we assess it? This book – which is the first of its kind – is a reference work, serving as a compendium for trochlear dysplasia, based on available scientific literature concerning trochlear dysplasia and adjacent areas, such as operations like trochleoplasty. Radiologists in particular who must assess the degree of trochlear dysplasia should immerse themselves in the relevant imaging options.
