DANIEL'S KNEE INJURIES

This text provides a thorough and concise presentation of the basic science and clinical management of the knee ligament. It examines the ligament from cell to patient, including biology, biomechanics, and clinical treatment. Due to the tremendous expansion and advancements in the realm of knee ligament research, this edition was compiled with the strategy to bring everything into one convenient reference.
