Minimal Access Orthopaedics

Some of the most impressive advances in minimally invasive surgery can be demonstrated in operations on the joints. Trauma and recovery times are reduced dramatically, enabling the efficient treatment of more patients in a shorter period of time. This manual draws on the experience of surgeons in both Europe and North America to provide trainees and others new to the techniques with detailed guidance on how to deal efficiently with rarer conditions, the options available and emergency situations.
