This technique-based text is geared for the orthopedic surgeon who is familiar with the features of MIS and now wants to master the approach. Edited by distinguished authorities in the field, the book covers four main areas for MIS joint replacement surgery: the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. Contributors share their valued expertise on the very techniques they have pioneered as they explain the latest instrumentation and present procedures step-by-step. Cutting-edge approaches are detailed throughout, and one section is specifically devoted to computer navigation. The wealth of insight is supplemented by more than 390 line drawings and photographs that illustrate how techniques are performed. An indispensable resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and fellows, this unparalleled guide is ideal for readers who want to confidently learn and apply MIS techniques.

There are rapid advances in the surgical techniques with the introduction of n- igation and robotics, which assist the surgeon in performing the p- cedure with limited visualization. This edition of MIS Techniques in Orthopedics elaborates on current techniques for the hip and knee, and also introduces the most recent sections on the upper extremity and computer navigation. The contributing authors are experts in the ?eld and share with the reader their experiences and surgical pearls. Keeping pace with new techniques and technologies in orthopedic surgery can be very demanding; our hope is that surgeons will ?nd this text a useful reference as they embark upon minimally invasive surgery.

This book covers the shoulder and elbow, the hip, unicondylar knee arthroplasty, and MIS total knee arthroplasty, which are the four main focus areas for MIS joint replacement surgery. Chapters written by leading authorities in the field include usage techniques for the latest instrumentation, and they guide surgeons step-by-step through procedures. In addition, a section is devoted to computer-guided total hip and knee arthroplasty. More than 300 detailed line drawings and photographs supplement the discussion by clearly illustrating how the techniques are performed. This practical resource is a great tool for orthopedic surgeons, residents, and fellows who want to confidently learn and apply cutting-edge MIS techniques The tenuous balance between stability and motion of the glenohumeral joint often results in one of the most common problems encountered by the orthopedic surgeon.
