The ACL-Deficient Knee (eBook, PDF)

A Problem Solving Approach

Produktbeschreibung

This book approaches the ACL deficient knee from a different perspective than those of the previous classical ways. The common approach is the analysis of closed compartments; anatomy, biomechanics, physical findings, imaging, surgical treatment and rehabilitation. The approach of this book is completely opposite, focusing on questions, controversies, problem analyses and problem solving, besides analyzing the possibility of prevention. Therefore, in each chapter, the biomechanics, anatomy, and other areas that are relevant to the topic are reviewed. There are chapters where highly specialized surgical techniques are presented (acute ACL repair, double bundle reconstruction, chondral lesions treatment or meniscal transplant). These chapters are written by internationally renowned specialists that are pioneers in the topic analyzed. Another interesting aspect of this book are the step by step surgical techniques videos, that will allow a knee specialist to perform the technique presented by the author. Moreover, the videos will include anatomy and physical therapy techniques.

What can we do to prevent it?.- The need for an objective measurement in-vivo of rotational stability of the ACL-deficient knee. How can we measure it?.- Guidelines for operative versus nonoperative management of ACL injuries.- The stimulation of healing of the anterior cruciate ligament. Researchand clinical relevance.- ACL Primary Repair. What we did, the results and how it helps today to tailor treatments to the patient and the pathology.- Graft choice in ACL reconstruction. Which one and why?.- Graft healing in ACL reconstruction: Can we enhance it in clinical practice?.- Is double-bundle ACL reconstruction necessary?.- ACL injuries in skeletally immature patients and adolescents. How can we improve the high rate of poor outcomes?.- Indications for ancillary surgery in the ACL deficient knee.- Outpatient ACL surgery. Is it safe?.- Factors related to return to sport after ACL reconstruction: When is it safe?.- Return to sports after ACL reconstruction surgery.
