Orthopaedic knowledge update : hip and knee reconstruction

Like the first edition, which was published in 1995, "Orthopaedic Knowledge Update: Hip and Knee Reconstruction 2" covers the developments in various areas of hip and knee reconstruction over the preceding four years. Developed by members of the Hip Society and the Knee Society, the chapters have been written by orthopaedic surgeons with special expertise in hip and knee reconstruction. General topics include: implant materials, imaging, inflammatory arthritis, biology of bone grafts, and outcomes assessment. The specific hip and knee sections of the book concentrate on topics such as biomechanics, surgical approaches, design evolution of cemented and cementless total hip replacement, and evaluation of the arthritic knee. Each chapter has an annotated bibliography.
