Summary:

Glassman (adult reconstructive surgery, Ohio State U. Medical Center) et al. bring together a group of orthopedic specialists from North America and Europe for a textbook of current practices in adult hip and knee reconstruction for residents, fellows, and general and specialist orthopedists. The 25 chapters cover basic and applied science for both knee and hip arthroplasty, including imaging, venous thromboembolism guidelines and prophylaxis, the biologic response to implants, osteonecrosis, and pain management and accelerated rehabilitation, and total knee and hip arthroplasty topics, such as biomechanics, nonarthroplasty alternatives, new technology, complications, infection, and minimally invasive surgery. This edition has updated material on computer navigation and robotic-assisted surgery, patient-specific knee instrumentation, alternative bearing surfaces, and total hip and knee revision arthroplasty.
