Thoroughly updated and expanded into two volumes, the Fourth Edition of Joint Replacement Arthroplasty provides
comprehensive coverage of primary and revision arthroplasty procedures for the upper and lower extremities. This
definitive text is written by world-renowned experts from the Mayo Clinic and other leading institutions and includes
data from the Mayo Clinic's extensive patient records from 1969 through 2009. This second volume covers the hip, knee,
and ankle and includes online access to 30 chapters on the basic science that supports joint replacement.


Sections on each joint cover anatomy and surgical approaches, navigation, biomechanics, prosthesis design, primary
arthroplasty, complications, revision arthroplasty, and alternative procedures. This edition includes more practical
advice on diagnosing and managing the underlying problems and more step-by-step operative guidelines.


A companion website includes the fully searchable text. The online-only basic science chapters provide thorough
coverage of materials used for joint replacements and management of patients with various medical conditions.

- Complete coverage of all complications
- Expert, world-renowned authors
- Much practical information on how to manage the operation
- Short chapters allowing easier access to the material
