- Includes a great deal of information on the etiopathogenesis of anterior knee pain and patellar instability, emerging technologies in evaluating patellofemoral joint: computacional modelling and kinetic and kinematic analyses, patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Full palette of surgical techniques currently available for the patellofemoral joint explained and portrayed. Fully explained procedures (classical and up to date surgeries) for patellar instabilities complemented with extensive photo library.
The Atlas of the Patellofemoral Joint is designed to be a detailed visual guide, presenting the reader with a wealth of images that will act as a crucial aid when faced with surgery of the knee and particularly that of the patella. All the images, footnotes and summaries are compiled in order to convey a simple understanding of this complex problem. It is a very practical book, aimed not only to those that already specialize in knee surgery, but also to the general orthopedic surgeon who wishes to learn more about this particular form of surgery.
