Reviews

The text is organized from the perspective of both pathology and surgical technique, providing excellent insight into the dysfunction and the associated treatment options. The contributing authors concisely illustrate their specific techniques in a step-by-step fashion to provide the reader with a firsthand perspective from the eye of the surgeon. Overall, the book is extremely well organized and comprehensive. Even though the book is designed as a surgical manual for practicing orthopedic surgeons, it can serve as a superb reference for any therapist trying to gain insight into knee dysfunction or arthroscopic techniques utilized to treat knee dysfunction. The major strength of this book is the easy-to-follow nature with the arthroscopic procedures described in detail using both written text and intraoperative photographs. A second strength is the concise manner in which the arthroscopic process is described. Overall, I highly recommend Arthroscopic Techniques of the Knee as an excellent reference manual for therapists wanting to expand their current understanding of arthroscopic techniques utilized in the treatment of common knee dysfunction. -- Michael J. Connors, PT, DPT, MPT, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, TX, Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy The authors have done an admirable job of creating a fundamental book on knee arthroscopy that is a great adjunct to hands-on courses for developing skills and understanding what to look for when performing knee arthroscopy. It is clearly targeted at residents and fellows in training as well as any practitioners who are developing and advancing their arthroscopic techniques of the knee. This book provides a number of valuable pearls that will help me improve the care of my patients. -- Mark R.
