This book offers a comprehensive overview of the basic science and
clinical evidence for non-arthroplasty interventions in the adult
knee. It aims to cover all aspects of joint-preserving knee
surgery, from injectable therapies such as platelet-rich plasma and
stem cell therapies to surgical interventions such as meniscal
repair and replacement, ligament reconstructions, and osteotomies.
Following discussion of clinical assessment and imaging, individual
chapters focus on specific clinical problems, including
patellofemoral joint disorders, chondral injuries, and bone tumors.
For each condition, a thorough overview is provided, describing
clinical assessment, management (including surgical and
non-surgical methods), and novel therapies. The contributors are
experts in their fields from across Europe and are drawn from the
worlds of clinical and academic orthopedic surgery. This book is
unique in its coverage of the entire span of non-arthroplasty knee
surgery and its focus on both clinical and basic science aspects.
It will be helpful for knee surgeons and those engaged in research
on knee-related topics, but also for students and other physicians
involved in the care of patients with disorders of the knee.
