Extensively revised, Operative Arthroscopy, Fourth Edition remains the most comprehensive and authoritative reference
in this rapidly advancing specialty. The previous editions of this book were heavy into basic science and attempted to
cover all of the anatomic joints. The Fourth Edition has been completely revamped and reorganized; the basic science
content has been reduced to the essentials and chapters on history and ethics have been removed. The chapter format
has been reorganized to focus on step-by-step, “how-to-do-it” material. The anatomic areas covered in the book are
the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, foot, and ankle; areas that the sports medicine specialist typically handles.
World-renowned experts describe the latest instrumentation and techniques and detail proven minimally invasive
procedures.
