This book provides a concise and accessible resource for evaluating, diagnosing, and managing common knee disorders. The chapters are presented in a clear, and easily understood style so that practitioners can readily apply the information in their day-to-day clinical practice.

 

The Knee Made Easy opens with discussion of the anatomy, biomechanics, clinical examination and radiological imaging of the knee, followed by commonly encountered clinical symptoms and conditions of the knee. Each clinical condition is demonstrated with the background, presentation, investigations, and treatment options.  

 

Medical students, generalist doctors, junior orthopaedic doctors, and physiotherapists will find this book to be an essential go-to guide for effectively treating the most common knee disorders and improving patients' care.
