Description
This comprehensive text presents basic and advanced techniques for
small animal general arthroscopy that can be applied to practice. It
features clear discussions of relevant topics, including
instrumentation, prep of the patient, portal placement, arthroscopic
technique, diagnostic procedures, and operative arthroscopy. Over 275
color photographs bring the subject to life, with an atlas-like
approach that showcases both normal and abnormal conditions in
arthroscopic anatomy. The text also offers full discussions of how to
arthroscopically diagnose and treat orthopedic disorders of the
shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle and tarsus, while the accompanying
CD-ROM provides video demonstrations with descriptive voice-over
explanations of these arthroscopic procedures. A chapter on
arthroscopic case studies presents examples of clinical cases to help
clarify procedures and possible complications.
