Knee Problems: A Patient's Guide to Treatment and Recovery (Thorsons Health Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The knee is the most commonly injured joint in the body. Injuries and diseases affect all age groups often resulting in lengthy periods away from work and sport.
Even though more than one million keyhole operations and two hundred thousand knee replacements are performed worldwide each year, little information exists for patients to learn about the knee.
Richard Villar, a specialist hip and knee surgeon, offers a clear overview of the subject as well as discussing in detail the two most common knee operations performed. Based on his personal experience of more than four thousand cases he explains how knee works, diseases and injuries of the knee, alternative treatments to surgery, arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) and knee replacement, and recovery after surgery.
