Doody's Book Review Service, 02-AUG-04, Edward Abraham, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine -- This work goes a long way in advancing our understanding of the complexities of patellofemoral joint function and treatment. The authors have taken on this joint in a serious way...I highly recommend this well-written book to all physicians and trainees caring for patients with knee disorders. -Doody's Book Review Service The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American) , 01-FEB-05, Volume 87, Issue 2, Michael C. Distefano, MD, PA -- This well-established text, now in its fourth edition, represents a comprehensive study of disorders of the patella by one of the leaders in the field. Changes from prior editions reflect new techniques in resurfacing, realignment, and arthroscopy...The book is easy to read and well illustrated, and it gives excellent alternatives for both operative and nonoperative treatments. I believe that this book is worthwhile for the intended audience and should be recommended reading. -The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American)
