This book presents the state of the art in controversies in orthopaedic surgery of the lower limb, i.e. of the hip, knee, and ankle, a treatment option that is becoming more and more frequent. Written by experts from leading institutions, it clarifies these controversies on the basis of real-world examples to provide readers with reliable insights.

Each of the 3 sections discusses the most relevant controversies related to the joint specificities of hip, knee, and ankle - ranging from cemented vs. uncemented THR, through ACL reconstruction vs. repair, to the diverse treatment options for Achilles tendon rupture.

This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for all orthopaedic surgeons involved in the care of lower limb problems.
