Joint Replacement Arthroplasty

From Book News, Inc.
This revised edition of a volume originally titled Reconstructive Surgery of the Joints (1996) aims to be accessible, with multiple relatively small chapters, carefully focused on specific topics. The original was based on the Mayo Clinic approach; the present volume encompasses a broader literature but still emphasizes techniques and approaches developed and used at the renowned clinic. After an initial general information chapter on the history of joint replacement arthroplasty, materials, concerns with different kinds of patients, and studies and statistics, subsequent chapters are arranged in sections on the hand and wrist, the elbow, the shoulder, the hip, the knee, and the foot and ankle. The book is illustrated in b&w with drawings, photographs, and x-ray images, all well-captioned.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
