Main description:

The second volume of Recent Advances in Orthopedic Surgery brings clinicians and trainees fully up to date with the latest advances in their field.

Divided into twelve sections, each chapter discusses new technologies and techniques for surgery in a specific orthopaedic subspecialty - hip, knee, spine, shoulder, elbow - providing a broad understanding of 'hot topics' and detail on current points of debate.

A complete chapter is dedicated to new advances in sports medicine.

This new volume highlights key topics such as minimally invasive approaches to spine surgery, new developments in the basic science of cartilage, implant selection in revision arthroplasty, and surgical techniques in joint preservation.

Authored by renowned experts in their specialty, led by P Maxwell Courtney from the Rothman Institute, Philadelphia, this book is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.
