Posterolateral Knee Injuries: Anatomy Evauation and Treatment (Hardcover)

Posterolateral Knee Injuries: Anatomy, Evaluation, and Treatment covers the
complex anatomy of the posterolateral knee, the varied examination techniques,
surgical and nonsurgical treatments, and therapeutic and rehabilitative
exercises available to manage conditions of the posterolateral knee.

This book discusses the multi-pronged approaches used to manage posterolateral
ligament tears, posterolateral rotatory instability, combined ligament
injuries, injuries causing abnormal knee movement, and much more. Comprehensive
coverage of clinically relevant biomechanics and the correlation of pertinent
exams needed for diagnosis helps the reader develop a firm understanding of the
relationship between instability abnormalities and posterolateral knee
injuries.

Highlights:

A review of anatomical nomenclature clarifies structures which are often
confused

More than 150 illustrations call attention to key issues and clearly delineate
anatomical concepts

Thorough discussion of imaging and diagnostic tests

Step-by-step descriptions of treatments of acute injury

Guidance on examination techniques for patients with concurrent ligament
injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and/or
posterior cruciate ligament, in either acute or chronic situations

Complete review of workup for chronic injury patients requiring either an
osteotomy and/or a reconstruction

Here is an essential reference for all orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine
specialists, and fellows in these specialties working with patients with acute
and chronic knee injuries and related pathology.
