Hip and knee arthroplasty continues to expand in volume every year at an unprecedented rate, and the advances in the field are coming at an ever-increasing pace. The Arthritis & Arthroplasty series has been written and compiled to provide the orthopedic surgeon with the essential knowledge and techniques necessary to treat patients with the latest and most appropriate care in the field. This is the first textbook series that addresses all arthritis and arthroplasty subspecialties within orthopedic surgery, and the editors have carefully chosen multiple experts in each subspecialty to contribute to this six-volume set.
Each textbook has been organized to provide the reader an overview of each chapter with a synopsis of important topics and pearls on the first page. Each volume progresses in a similar format, first dealing with joint-preserving techniques, progressing to primary arthroplasty and revision surgery, and finally dealing with the complications that are inherent to each subspecialty of arthritis and arthroplasty.
The hip and knee volumes have been organized to minimize any repetitive coverage of topics, but the reader should understand that some repetition is inevitable when covering certain topics in each volume. This repetition is necessary, especially when covering the concepts of mechanical axis, as it has profound effects on joint sparing (osteotomy), as well as primary and revision arthroplasty.

Book Features - Access the full text of the book-as well as links to PubMed and periodic content updates on outcome data, component materials, and surgical techniques-online at expertconsult.com.
- Features procedural videos-narrated by experts-on the included DVD so you can see how to perform particular techniques.
- Covers periacetabluar osteotomy, neurovascular injury, and other hot topics to keep you abreast of the latest developments in the specialty.
- Provides evidence-based, clinically focused guidance on patient selection, pre-operative planning, surgical approach and techniques, bearing surfaces and component materials, disease specific options, the management and avoidance of complications, salvage and revision THA strategies, and more.
- Discusses variations in technique, including cemented vs. cementless fixation, resurfacing or more radical removal of bone, and minimally invasive technique where the exposure is more limited so you can choose which is most effective for each patient.
- Explores alternatives to THA in younger arthritic patients such as arthroscopy, arthrodesis, osteotomy, and resurfacing.
- Includes a review page in every chapter for quick reference to pearls and pitfalls for each topic.
- Presents photographs and interpretive drawings of surgical techniques in full color to bring out intraoperative details as they appear in the operating room.

Foreword by B.F. Morrey, MD
As the editors indicate in the Preface, this series was developed in an effort to address the broad spectrum of orthopedic reconstructive practice involving joint pathology, with an emphasis on joint replacement arthroplasty. There have been other somewhat similar efforts to provide the orthopedic community with a comprehensive compendium of orthopedic knowledge. The feature that sets this particular effort apart is the fact that the authors have a focus, even though the spectrum is quite broad. The clear goal is to provide the surgeon with a comprehensive, up-to-date, detailed, user-friendly source of information that provides a basis for improved patient care related to the management of the arthritic joint. The approach and organization by individual anatomic site for each specific volume is not new, but this series is unique. The tremendous burden to provide a standardized format and a consistent quality of information and illustrations has been addressed and effectively realized in this series. I am impressed at the editors' selection of contributors, which includes both younger talent of our profession as well as well-recognized and established individuals. This offers a nice balance and blend of current and emerging orthopedic thought that is clearly conveyed through these pages.
Both the series and volume editors are well recognized for their interest and competency in joint reconstructive surgery. Their energy and organizational skills are evident in this compendium.
From my standpoint, this initiative certainly does fill a niche that, in spite of the numerous efforts from various perspectives, addresses an area of need in the orthopedic spectrum of knowledge. The specific attractive features include the standardized format within a given volume that is carried throughout each of the volumes. The fact that the chapters are organized to allow a quick review of the content is readily identified as keeping with the “sound bytes” learning style of the orthopedic surgeons of today. This is best recognized in the sections dealing with the pearls and pitfalls. Thus, these texts provide an interesting blend of abbreviated insights supported by detail and substance. The orthopedist's passion and need for visual validation of our thinking and understanding is captured in the video sections that are laced throughout this series. The figures are clear; the references are comprehensive but not exhaustive. Thus, one easily recognizes the effort to make this a user-friendly, comprehensive, up-to-date, technique-oriented source of truth for the busy orthopedic surgeon.
The aggressive goal and vision of the editors has been very well realized in these volumes. It is highly likely that some of these volumes, if not the entire series, will be considered a must for the busy orthopedic surgeon dealing with the arthritic joint.
