Book Description
The rationale for a second edition of Operative Hip Arthroscopy is
well developed. The technique continues to evolve and represent
fertile ground for a new edition. There is also a considerable
amount of new information that needs to be shared with surgeons
and residents who are performing this innovative procedure.
Completely revised and updated throughout, this new edition
focuses on the technical and clinical aspects of performing
arthroscopic hip procedures. The editor, a pioneer in the field,
has assembled a distinguished group of international contributors.
This text presents comprehensive, timely information on all major
arthroscopic approaches. Each chapter is supported by beautiful
color photographs and line drawings, gross and arthroscopic
anatomy, information on pitfalls, complications and
rehabilitation, and a wide range of illustrative case studies.
Five new chapters have been added, including precise discussions
of: extraarticular sources of hip pain; endoscopic treatments;
arthroscopic assisted and combined open hip procedures; hip
arthroscopy in athletes; and hip arthroscopy in children. Also
included are expanded chapters on outcome data and the latest
imaging techniques using MRI and injection dyes to better assess
problems of this complex joint
