Publisher's Synopsis
The treatment of chondral damage and early arthritis in active patients remains a challenge. Biologic Joint Reconstruction has accepted this challenge, providing a comprehensive look into the fast growing area of cartilage repair and early arthritis surgery for virtually every major joint. The authors have created a text that includes a detailed approach to surgical management utilising procedures relative to all joints such as osteotomy, cartilage repair, cartilage restoration, and limited resurfacing. Treatment indications, surgical techniques, and non-operative treatment in the knee, shoulder, hip and smaller joints are also highlighted in the text.
