Reviews

From the reviews: ""The book of V. Sanchis-Alfonso is ! welcome. ! The chapters follow on the clinical examination, the differential diagnosis, the risk factors and the preserving treatment of the femoro-patellar syndrome extremely quite detailed with a very rich bibliography. ! This excellent work is very complete, accessible to the non-specialist. It is a model which should be a work of specialized orthopaedists, essential to any surgeon being interested in pathology of the knee.""
