This book offers a comprehensive overview of the basic science and clinical evidence for
non-arthroplasty interventions in the adult knee. It aims to cover all aspects of
joint-preserving knee surgery from injectable therapies such as platelet-rich plasma and stem
cell therapies to surgical interventions such as meniscal repair and replacement ligament
reconstructions and osteotomies. Following discussion of clinical assessment and imaging
individual chapters focus on specific clinical problems including patellofemoral joint
disorders chondral injuries and bone tumors. For each condition a thorough overview is
provided describing clinical assessment management (including surgical and non-surgical
methods) and novel therapies. The contributors are experts in their fields from across Europe
and are drawn from the worlds of clinical and academic orthopedic surgery. This book is unique
in its coverage of the entire span of non-arthroplasty knee surgery and its focus on both
clinical and basic science aspects. It will be helpful for knee surgeons and those engaged in
research on knee-related topics but also for students and other physicians involved in the
care of patients with disorders of the knee.
