"This text presents a more inclusive "surgical approach"
for what one might describe as the more global nature of knee
conditions. The line drawings are excellent, with most chapters
including surgical photographs. ...Experienced clinicians will enjoy the
"Tips and Pearls and Pitfalls and Complications" sections.
Therapists may find it helpful to demonstrate the specific procedures
performed by the surgeon as they educate their patients."--Journal
