About this book

This is not just another book on the knee. Dr. Fanelli's book, The Multiple Ligament Injured Knee: A Practical Guide to Management, written with a team of experienced contributors, is about a subject that is pertinent, as well as often underestimated and underappreciated. The surgeon's thorough knowledge of this subject is essential for the care of the patient with multiple ligaments injured in the knee. Such knowledge is indispensable if the patient's well-being and future function are to be restored. Time, technique, judgment, and decisiveness are critical. These are the surgeon's responsibilities. We have all come to be arthroscopic knee surgeons. We cannot, however, let this diminish our judgment or skill in open surgery. Often in the multi­ ply compromised knee, open surgery is a requisite. We must return to the principles that Drs. O'Donoghue, Slocum, Hughston, Trillat, Mueller-the fathers of modern knee surgery-taught us. Open exposure may be essen­ tial in some cases; we must know when it is necessary. This textbook helps resolve the impasse that often occurs in this arena of evolving art and science. Young surgeons who were not there before the arthroscope might not appreciate the awful injury that frequently is associated with the mul­ tiligament knee injury. We all know Dr. O'Donoghue's firm dictum that early diagnosis and anatomic repair is the best and most appropriate method of treatment. Time has not invalidated this advice.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"Multiple ligament injuries of the knee occur predominantly in young, fit and active patients. … these injuries are rare but this means that few surgeons have significant experience in their management. This book … is therefore of great value. … It should be a mandatory purchase for any surgeons with an interest in soft-tissue injuries of the knee." (R. Allum)

"Written by a team of experienced contributors, this practical guide discusses the essential aspects of the management of a knee with multiple ligament injuries. … An extensive number of treatment options are examined … . This work is clearly written and contains the most recent information, invaluable for orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, residents, physical therapists and all other health professionals involved with traumatic injuries of the knee." (D. Zorman, Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, Vol. 71(1), 2005)

"If the surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament is perfectly codified, the multiple ligamentary traumatisms of the knee are definitely less … . G. C. Fanelli and co-authors propose to share their experiments in a real didactic step. … this work is addressed primarily at not only surgery specialists of the knee, but also experts confronted with traumatology, in order to better appreciate the lesional diagnosis of multiple ligamentary lesions, and thus to take the adequate decisions according to the experiment." (L. Balabaud, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, Vol. 16, 2006)
