This is the first comprehensive reference on minimally invasive techniques in orthopedic surgery of the hip and knee. MIS techniques are gaining popularity worldwide because they are associated with lower morbidities and quicker recoveries than older, invasive procedures. The contributors are world-renowned surgeons who are proponents of MIS techniques in hip and knee arthroplasty. They describe surgical techniques in a step-by-step fashion, supported by instructive photographs and line drawings. Each chapter includes indications, contra-indications, surgical techniques and practical advice, post-operative management, and clinical results.

here, two well-known knee experts have assembled a group of leaders in the field to present a book encompassing the best techniques for total knee arthroplasty. Concise chapters cover indications, contraindications, complications, results, instrumentation, infection, preop planning, prosthetic choice, revision arthroplasty, and more -- with the emphasis on the best techniques and surgical "pearls". Supported by line drawings, intraoperative photographs and radiographs, this definitive volume will serve as the complete and quick reference on total knee arthroplasty.
