Advances in Orthopedic Surgery of the Knee (2023) E. Carlos Rodríguez-Merchán

Description

This book discusses the latest advances in meniscal repair, meniscal allograft transplantation, and the treatment of patellofemoral (PF) osteoarthritis (OA) by arthroplasty. It compares PF arthroplasty to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for isolated PF OA, reviews unicompartmental arthroplasty, and analyzes TKA results after proximal tibia fracture, in patients with severe obesity, and in patients younger than 55 years. The book also covers fast-track primary and revision TKA, comparisons between unilateral and simultaneous bilateral TKA, mobile and fixed bearing TKA, and management of knee periprosthetic joint infection.
