Chondral Disease of the Knee (eBook, PDF)

A Case-Based Approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book consists of case studies selected for their clinical value. The text is comprehensive and covers the spectrum of current treatments. Emphasis is placed on clarifying the overall decision-making process involved with cartilage repair and solution implementation. Cases are logically organized by increasing complexity. Injury evaluation, including physical examination and radiographic evaluation, is detailed. Comorbidities and off-label usage of technology are considered as well. Each case concludes with bulleted decision-making factors that further reinforce treatment rational. Brilliant illustrations, many in color, highlight disease presentation and arthroscopic techniques. With its practical, case-based approach, this book advances disease management through improved judgment.
