_STEP-BY-STEP DESCRIPTIONS OF TREATMENTS FOR POSTEROLATERAL KNEE
INJURIES_
_Posterolateral Knee Injuries: Anatomy, Evaluation, and Treatment_
covers the complex anatomy of the posterolateral knee, the varied
examination techniques, surgical and nonsurgical treatments, and
therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises available to manage
conditions of the posterolateral knee.
This book discusses the multi-pronged approaches used to manage
posterolateral ligament tears, posterolateral rotatory instability,
combined ligament injuries, injuries causing abnormal knee movement,
and much more. Comprehensive coverage of clinically relevant
biomechanics and the correlation of pertinent exams needed for
diagnosis helps the reader develop a firm understanding of the
relationship between instability abnormalities and posterolateral knee
injuries.
Highlights:
* A review of anatomical nomenclature clarifies structures which are
often confused
* More than 150 illustrations call attention to key issues and
clearly delineate anatomical concepts
* Thorough discussion of imaging and diagnostic tests
* Step-by-step descriptions of treatments of acute injury
* Guidance on examination techniques for patients with concurrent
ligament injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral
ligament, and/or posterior cruciate ligament, in either acute or
chronic situations
* Complete review of workup for chronic injury patients requiring
either an osteotomy and/or a reconstruction
Here is an essential reference for all orthopedic surgeons, sports
medicine specialists, and fellows in these specialties working with
patients with acute and chronic knee injuries and related pathology.
