Main description:

This book offers a comprehensive guide to knee arthroplasty that will assist in achieving excellent outcomes based on a sound understanding and technique. An introductory section on the primary knee arthroplasty that covers preoperative planning, surgical exposures, step by step approach to knee arthroplasty, unicondylar knee arthroplasty and radiological assessment are discussed in detail. The next section is devoted to topics pertaining to knee replacement in complex situations like bone defects, stiff knees, previous failed trauma and extra-articular deformities.

A separate section has been dedicated to use of technology like Computer navigation and Robotics in TKA. An extensive section explains the causes and management of potential complications, including instability, infections, and periprosthetic fracture. Individual chapters focussing on multimodal pain management, deep vein thrombosis, rehabilitation and newer advances have been included .The surgical techniques appropriate for revision knee arthroplasty are described separately, and guidelines on how to deal with bone loss, instability, gap balancing, joint line restoration, and use of bulk allografts, hinges and condylar replacement prosthesis are provided. The authors are all respected experts from the United Kingdom, United States,India and Europe. The language of the book is easy to read, user friendly with colourful pictorial representation of relevant surgical steps. Case based discussions, surgical tips and pearls and summary has been added in each chapter. The references given at the end of each chapter would be useful for those doing research. This book should be of interest to practicing orthopaedic surgeon across the globe, beginner arthroplasty surgeons, postgraduate students of orthopaedics, DNB students and those preparing for board exams. This book will serve as a reference book for Master Arthroplasty surgeons as well as a compendium on Knee Arthroplasty.
