In 1990, renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kenneth Krackow authored The Technique of Total Knee Arthroplasty, a comprehensive guide aimed at educating surgeons on the fundamentals of performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for end-stage arthritis. This second edition, extensively revised and updated for a new generation of practitioners, remains steadfast in its original mission of equipping advanced surgeons with enhanced knowledge and expertise in primary and revision TKA. Authored by Dr. Krackow and his former fellows Drs. William M. Mihalko and Michael A. Mont, this comprehensive volume ensures practitioners remain current with the latest advancements in the field, encompassing patient optimization, outpatient procedures, robotics, and emerging technology. It offers in-depth and authoritative coverage of both inpatient and outpatient primary TKA, with new chapters dedicated to patient considerations, modifications, optimizing important comorbidities, TKA balancing, and other crucial topics. Addressing key issues of patient optimization, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and peripheral vascular disease, the book provides evidence-based insights into TKA outcomes and complications. It emphasizes the latest and most effective techniques and surgical approaches, including computer and robotic-assisted surgery, uncemented TKA, assessing and planning for challenging cases, outpatient TKA considerations, and preventing readmissions post-surgery. The book also delves into the management of deformity aspects of the lower extremity, bone defects, and ligamentous insufficiency during surgery, utilizing numerous illustrative images, line art, radiographs, and clinical photos to enhance visual comprehension of each procedure. Additionally, an enhanced eBook version is included with the purchase, offering additional features such as interactive content, search functionality, and downloadable references. With its comprehensive and evidence-based approach, The Technique of Total Knee Arthroplasty, 2nd Edition serves as a valuable resource for orthopedic surgeons seeking to excel in the field of TKA, providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver optimal patient care.
