About the Book
The purpose of this book is to provide a methodology of analysis, and technique to achieve a zero error, anatomically aligned, stable, perfectly balanced knee that is neither tight nor loose in extension or flexion, with correction of preoperative osseous deformity and ligamentous contractures or laxity-with minimal damage to the dynamic muscle/tendon mechanism and with maximum range of movement.
The surgeon is also guided to conduct Total Knee Arthroplasty in various situations-avoiding pitfalls and with tips to improve the results.
