Patellofemoral complaints are a major problem for all those working in 
sports medicine and orthopaedics. The correct diagnosis at an early 
stage is essential if subsequent treatment is to be successful and 
secondary complications are to be avoided. Written by an internationally 
known team of experts this book looks at the various diagnostic 
techniques currently available, cites examples of unsuccessful 
treatments and proposes the most appropriate ones on the proven basis of 
the latest research. The core of the book is the 20 case
studies ranging from simple non-operative treatment to multi-operated 
patients with salvage procedures. The underlying theme of the book is 
that treatment of patellofemoral problems must, in the first instance, 
be somewhat conservative. Surgical interventions should be performed in 
a response to a clear underlying pathology and only after  non-operative 
treatment has failed. Patellofemoral Disorders is enhanced by the 
inclusion of some superb specially drawn illustrations and numerous 
colour photographs in the case studies section.
