Overview

The knowledge of leading orthopaedic surgeons is channelled into this monograph to convey the facts necessary for the successful surgical treatment of the cruciate ligaments. The various aspects of reconstructive knee surgery are given equal weight in the text. The contents cover anatomy and biomechanics; diagnosis; treatment of recent and chronic cruciate ligament insufficiency, including new arthroscopic reconstruction techniques; accompanying injuries of the meniscus and important secondary stabilizers, including the posterolateral capsules; accompanying lesions of the posterior ligament or of artificial ligaments; early and late complications, including problems with artificial ligaments; treatment of late arthrosis; rehabilitation; and documentation and evaluation.
