This brief yet concise text is the work of a real expert and pioneer in the field of total knee arthroplasty. The text, despite its brevity, covers the topic of total knee arthroplasty well. Typically, the chapters are minimally referenced; however, the author clearly has tremendous experience in the field and he shares this valuable information with the reader. Since the text has a single author, it does not suffer from the vagaries of varying writing styles. The text is well illustrated with intraoperative photographs as well as many schematic diagrams. In addition, a digital video disc is supplied, which provides surgical videos of three common techniques: primary total knee arthroplasty, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and surgical management of the valgus knee.
