The treatment of chondral damage and early arthritis in active patients remains a challenge. Biologic Joint Reconstruction has accepted this challenge, providing a comprehensive look into the fast growing area of cartilage repair and early arthritis surgery for virtually every major joint. The authors have created a text that includes a detailed approach to surgical management utilising procedures relative to all joints such as osteotomy, cartilage repair, cartilage restoration, and limited resurfacing. Treatment indications, surgical techniques, and non-operative treatment in the knee, shoulder, hip and smaller joints are also highlighted in the text.

Review:
"This is a one-of-a-kind publication on a topic rarely covered in orthopedic textbooks. This book offers the advantage of discussing the contemporary management of the young patient with hip pain through hip arthroscopy and osteotomy." -- Mark Gonzalez, MD, Author of University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Doody Enterprises, Inc. "The chapters on patient evaluation, imaging, and allograft processing and safety are well written, easy to read, and contain images and illustrations that reinforce important concepts. Well-placed and reader-friendly tables and figures highlight the risks, benefits, and evidence for these interventions. The authors provide an extensive list of evidence-based interventions, and are clear to emphasize when the evidence is primarily author experience and when the evidence is found in reported research. Each chapter is well-illustrated with many anatomical and surgical figures as well as easy-to-read tables and a discussion of rehabilitation. Overall this is an exceptionally well-written and appropriately illustrated text covering key principles of biologic joint resurfacing. While it is written for orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapist who have an interest in and work with patients with articular cartilage pathology would find this to be an excellent addition to their library." -- Lori Thein Brody, PT, PhD, SCS, University of Wisconsin, Health Sports Medicine and Spine Center, Madison WI, Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
