Extraarticular Reconstruction in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knee

In this book, leading clinical and applied scientists bring together a broad array of information on topics related to extra-articular surgery for the anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee. Topics addressed are: fundamental biomechanics of the extra-articular surgical procedure; the role of the procedure in the skeletally immature knee; the use of the procedure as the primary means of treatment; the use of the procedure as secondary support in conjunction with intra-articular reconstruction in the acutely injured knee; and the use of the procedure as secondary support in conjunction with intra-articular reconstruction in the chronically injured knee.
