This book has been organized into five major sections

This book has been organized into five major sections. The first section on fundamental principles covers anatomy, articular cartilage injury and repair, osteochondral fractures, soft tissue management, extensile exposure, exter nal fixation, and the use of allografts in the knee.

It covers knee anatomy; acute management of trauma; late reconstructive procedures; fractures and . This comprehensive study has been written for orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in knee injuries, sports medicine and arthroplasty.

This chapter has discussed rupture of the quadriceps and patellar tendon, and tibial tubercle avulsion fractures.

A wide range of injuries are covered, including jumper's knee, meniscus tears, knee ligament injuries, knee extensor mechanism injuries, and the floating knee. Dislocations of the knee and patella are carefully considered. This chapter has discussed rupture of the quadriceps and patellar tendon, and tibial tubercle avulsion fractures.

A knee dislocation is a knee injury in which there is a complete disruption of the joint between the tibia and the femur. Symptoms include knee pain and instability of the knee. Complications may include injury to an artery around the knee, most commonly the artery behind the knee, or compartment syndrome. The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. p. 565.

Dislocations of the knee and patella are carefully considered.

A wide range of injuries are covered, including jumper’s knee, meniscus tears, knee ligament injuries, knee extensor mechanism injuries, and the floating knee. Osteochondral fractures and fractures of the distal femur and tibial plateau are discussed in individual chapters that provide clear guidance on treatment

Intra-articular knee injuries in children traditionally have been considered rarer than injuries i. We had only one complication caused by the fracturing of the bone plug. The most frequent meniscus injuries were the traumatic tears (23 cases), 80% of which were peripheral and longitudinal.

Intra-articular knee injuries in children traditionally have been considered rarer than injuries i. Whenever possible, the entire meniscus (suture in 4 cases) or the greater part of it (economic resection in 19 cases) should be conserved. Despite the satisfactory results, the average followup of the meniscal series (2. months) is too short a period to evaluate thoroughly the deterioration of the joint after a meniscectomy.
