Posterolateral Knee Injuries: Anatomy, Evaluation, and Treatment covers 
the complex anatomy of the posterolateral knee, the varied examination 
techniques, surgical and nonsurgical treatments, and therapeutic and 
rehabilitative exercises available to manage conditions of the posterolateral 
knee.

This book discusses the multi-pronged approaches used to manage 
posterolateral ligament tears, posterolateral rotatory instability, combined 
ligament injuries, injuries causing abnormal knee movement, and much more. 
Comprehensive coverage of clinically relevant biomechanics and the correlation 
of pertinent exams needed for diagnosis helps the reader develop a firm 
understanding of the relationship between instability abnormalities and 
posterolateral knee injuries.

Highlights:

• A review of anatomical nomenclature clarifies 
  structures which are often confused 
• More than 150 illustrations call attention to key 
  issues and clearly delineate anatomical concepts 
• Thorough discussion of imaging and diagnostic tests 
• Step-by-step descriptions of treatments of acute injury 
   
• Guidance on examination techniques for patients with 
  concurrent ligament injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament, medial 
  collateral ligament, and/or posterior cruciate ligament, in either acute or 
  chronic situations 
• Complete review of workup for chronic injury patients 
  requiring either an osteotomy and/or a reconstruction

 

Here is an essential reference for all orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, and fellows 
in these specialties working with patients with acute and chronic knee injuries and related pathology.
