Total knee replacements (TKRs) are very successful procedures, but they eventually wear out and sometimes complications may develop, requiring a further operation – revision knee replacement. A revision or ‘re-do’ total knee replacement procedure involves the removal of the existing TKR and its replacement with new components. This book presents orthopaedic surgeons with the latest developments, current indications and critical issues in revision knee arthroplasty, providing in depth discussion on surgical reconstruction of the knee and basic knee joint deformities. Part of the successful Mastering Orthopedic Techniques series, the book is highly illustrated with surgical photographs, operative diagrams, X-Ray images and tables. Other titles in the series include Total Knee Arthroplasty, Total Hip Arthroplasty, Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty, Spine Surgery, Intra-articular Fractures, and Knee Reconstruction.

Intra-articular fractures occur on the surface of a bone that meets a joint with another bone. They are more serious than fractures that do not involve a joint space because they are associated with much greater incidence of long-term complications (MediVisuals Inc). Part of the Mastering Orthopedic Techniques series, this comprehensive manual is a complete guide to the surgical management of intra-articular fractures. Beginning with an introduction providing an overview of articular fractures, the following chapters provide a ‘how to’ style commentary, joint by joint and by fracture type. Each chapter provides an understanding of different injuries, practical classifications, challenges in diagnosis and the reasons why one surgical option may be more appropriate than another for a particular fracture type. Each surgical option is described in detail with drawings, clinical photos, surgical techniques, equipment needed, tricks and techniques for reduction and fixation, and an overview of postoperative management, complications and results. Key points Comprehensive guide to surgical management of intra-articular fractures Provides ‘how to’ style commentary by joint and fracture type Includes nearly 1200 full colour drawings and clinical photos Written by an internationally recognised editor and author team from Europe, the US and Asia

Part of the well-known Mastering Orthopedic Techniques series, this book is a step by step guide to spine surgery for orthopaedic surgeons.

With contributions from internationally recognised orthopaedic specialists, this comprehensive reference includes more than 400 detailed images and illustrations.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) - also known as unicondylar knee arthroplasty or partial knee replacement - is an excellent surgical option for the treatment of isolated medial, lateral and patellofemoral compartment arthritis of the knee, as long term results suggest high patient satisfaction and survivability that rivals total knee arthroplasty (TKA). These procedures are well-suited for rapid recovery protocols and outpatient surgery through well-structured surgical pathways. With demand increasing for knee arthroplasty, patients presenting sooner and at a younger age, and an ever-increasing interest from patients, surgeons and payors in outpatient surgery, the demand for unicompartmental arthroplasty is expected to increase significantly. This text will assist orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, residents and attendings in developing successful pathways for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, divided into three thematic sections. Part one discusses the history, indications and patient selection for UKA, including how to manage patient expectations, as well as implant choices. Surgical techniques for UKA are presented in part two, both the medial and lateral sides, with discussion of mobile bearings, pain management, blood preservation strategies, and therapy options both before and after surgery. Complications and their prevention are presented in part three, including periprosthetic fractures and infection. Timely and practical, Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty will provide orthopedic surgeons and related clinical staff with all they need to know to bring this increasingly common technique into practice.
