이 책의 특징

This book presents the latest knowledge on all aspects of osteoarthritis of the knee. Beyond offering a
thorough evidence-based review of the available treatment options, it provides helpful information on such
fundamental aspects as anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry, etiology, pathogenesis, and radiologic
assessment. The treatment-oriented chapters cover non-pharmacologic treatment, drug treatment, intra-
articular drug and/or cell-based injection therapy, arthroscopic treatment, osteotomy, and joint replacement
surgery. The goal is to equip the reader with a sound understanding of both the condition itself and the
appropriate treatment strategy in different situations. The importance of taking into account factors such as
the degree of arthritis, patient activity, lifestyle, and pain when formulating that strategy is emphasized.
The fact that the book extends well beyond the description of surgical treatments means that it will be an
excellent source of information and guidance for general clinicians as well as for those who specialize in
the management of musculoskeletal disorders.
