The field of adult reconstructive surgery for the treatment of knee arthritis is rapidly advancing. Several paradigms associated with the management of knee arthritis are being challenged and debated, and currently, there is no arthroplasty text available that bridges knee alignment options with various implant choices and technological advances available to the knee arthroplasty surgeon.
This book focuses on exploring the current technical and technological advances in the surgical management of knee arthritis. It covers various implant options for partial knee replacements (UKA) and primary and revision total knee replacements (TKA) along with various technological advances such as navigation, robotics, patient-specific instrumentation, pressure sensing tibial trays, and customized implants. It also explores surgical algorithms associated with kinematic alignment, mechanical alignment and revision scenarios with soft-tissue and bony defects. A truly international editorship and authorship ensures a wide variety of opinions and approaches from around the world.
Generously illustrated with intraoperative photographs, Surgical Management of Knee Arthritis presents the latest, cutting-edge techniques and technologies on the market for orthopedic surgeons, residents and fellows.
