Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
Minimally invasive orthopedic procedures are beginning to revolutionize joint replacement surgery, yet surgeons have lacked a comprehensive reference on MIS techniques for two key joints: the hip and the knee. To satisfy this need, Drs. Scuderi and Tria, noted experts on MIS, selected contributors who are recognized authorities on MIS techniques. Readers will find sought-after information, including guidelines on patient selection and recommendations on instrumentation, and each technique is explained clearly and comprehensively. The section devoted to total hip arthroplasty discusses both the two-incision approach and mini-incision. The section dedicated to the knee covers minimally invasive unicompartmental arthroplasty, Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement, minimal incision total knee arthroplasty, and minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty. The practical advice found throughout the text is complemented by more than 150 photographs and illustrations that highlight key concepts.
