Since most knee operations today are performed with the aid of an arthroscope, an orthopedic resident may infrequently be exposed to open knee surgery. Therefore, today’s orthopaedic surgeon may have inadequate knowledge of knee anatomy and little experience with open knee operations. However, in a typical orthopaedic practice, open knee surgery is still required, especially in trauma. This book is written to fill this knowledge gap.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis anatomical and surgical atlas is different from other anatomy books in many respects. It is written for surgeons. Anatomical structures that are surgically important are emphasized, whereas those that have little clinical bearing are not stressed. Structures are shown in the position of the knee that surgery is typically performed, such as 90 degrees flexion for medial and lateral approaches. Plentiful high-resolution photographs and illustrations of meticulous new dissections are presented. New imaging techniques are used to demonstrate structures, such as MRI and high-resolution computed tomography. Structures are demonstrated at varying degrees of knee flexion, such as the patellofemoral articulation. Commonly used surgical exposures are clearly described and illustrated.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWritten by orthopaedic surgeons who have years of hands-on experience, \u003ci\u003eSurgical Anatomy and Exposures of the Knee\u003c\/i\u003e will be a tremendous resource to refresh knowledge of pertinent knee anatomy, plan a surgical exposure, and avoid complications of open knee surgery.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBertram Zarins, MD\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAugustus Thorndike Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harvard Medical School\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChief of Sports Medicine Service, Emeritus, Massachusetts General Hospital\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eVisiting Professor, Riga Medical College of the University of Latvia  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMGH Sports Medicine\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBoston, MA, USA \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRobert Śmigielski, MD, PhD, DSc\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChief of Trauma, Orthopaedics, and Sports Medicine Department\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLIFE Medical Center, Warszawa, Poland \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eChief of Biological Treatment Center\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLIFE Institute, Warszawa, Poland \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 May 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031476631\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e287\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49483903893644,"sku":"9783031476631","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031476631.jpg?v=1780602500","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031476631","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
