Reviews

From the reviews: Orthopedic surgeons at all levels of training can benefit by improving their visual understanding of the patellofemoral joint. Orthopedic residents and fellows will find these images valuable. ... This atlas is both free-standing and a nice complement. ... this is a worthy addition to the literature. (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2013)
