The Management of Meniscal Pathology

This comprehensive resource explores the evaluation and management of meniscal pathology, making The Management of Meniscal Pathology essential for orthopedic professionals.

This dedicated book on meniscal pathology serves as a significant resource for orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, residents, and fellows. While many large sports medicine textbooks touch upon the management of meniscal issues, The Management of Meniscal Pathology offers a focused exploration of this prevalent concern. With symptomatic meniscal tears being among the most common musculoskeletal problems encountered in clinical practice, this book provides up-to-date insights into evaluation and management strategies grounded in current evidence.

The Management of Meniscal Pathology thoroughly examines the anatomy and biomechanical significance of the meniscus in maintaining normal knee function. The book is structured to guide readers through the complexities of evaluating and treating meniscal tears and insufficiency. Each chapter dedicated to surgical interventions—including partial meniscectomy, meniscus repair, meniscal root repair, and meniscal allograft transplantation—features detailed, step-by-step descriptions of operative techniques, along with practical pearls and pitfalls to enhance reader understanding.

In addition to surgical approaches, the book also covers non-operative methods and highlights innovative strategies and materials that are emerging in the field. This comprehensive resource not only presents traditional techniques but also emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded understanding of outcomes, making it an invaluable tool for anyone involved in the management of meniscal pathology.
