This handbook presents a concise, practical approach to the physical examination and diagnosis of acute injuries of the knee. While radiological diagnostic tools like CT and MRI are important tools for orthopedic and sports medicine injuries, the skills of history taking and an accurate physical exam are no less important in educated decision-making when it comes to injury management.

Produktbeschreibung
This handbook presents a concise, practical approach to the physical examination and diagnosis of acute injuries of the knee. While radiological diagnostic tools like CT and MRI are important tools for orthopedic and sports medicine injuries, the skills of history taking and an accurate physical exam are no less important in educated decision-making when it comes to injury management. The goal of this book is to make it easier for a beginning knee practitioner to take an educated history and then perform a thorough physical examination. This will invariably steer them to the course of the correct diagnosis. The focus here is on a consistent and thorough examination, including taking a full history of the injury, utilizing common physical tests, and limiting differential diagnoses. To this end, the book opens with a review of these general considerations. Subsequent chapters discuss these considerations across a number of acute knee injuries tothe patella, ACL, MCL, PCL, meniscus, and multiligamentous and extensor mechanism injuries and conditions. Additional chapters describe osteochondral injuries and mimickers such as PVNS and tumors. Video clips demonstrating examination techniques are included throughout the text. While The Acute Knee is aimed primarily at younger practitioners, it is an excellent resource for any orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine physicians looking to refamiliarize themselves with the "lost art" of physical examination for the acute knee.

Rezensionen
Mark Sherman's The Acute Knee is a treasure, and a "must-read" for anyone taking care of knee injuries. Mark's patient-centered approach is a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by electronic medical records and a reliance on technology over humanitarian care. Emphasizing concepts like HUMILITY, LISTENING, REHABILITY (a Sherman neologism) and CRU (a new and CRUcial way to think about ACL injuries), The Acute Knee synthesizes Dr. Sherman's 40 years of experience in to a straight-forward, readable (and watchable, with complementary videos) manual that emphasizes the essentials of humanely diagnosing and treating knee injuries. This book entertainingly accomplishes its purpose - to get back to the basics and keep it simple - with keen insights for everyone.

Dr. Sherman has created a fine book. Dr. Sherman is extremely knowledgeable, having started his career with the late Dr. John L Marshall at the Hospital for Special Surgery. They carried out numerous studies on the ACL injury. This book clearly defines issues and potential solutions. It nicely explains the options of your care and treatment. It is well worth the read.

It is well documented that the musculoskeletal skeletal exam is poorly done in most medical schools. This handbook on the evaluation of the acutely injured knee by Dr. Sherman is extremely well done and much needed. I feel it is an excellent resource for all sports medicine physicians.
