- Features concise, detailed text accompanied by abundant, high-quality clinical and radiologic images to provide a practical tool for use in the office, in the clinic, and at point of care
- Discusses intraoperative considerations, including implant design, implant sizing, use of technology, bearing surfaces, and fixation
- Covers etiology of and gender differences in bone health, and development of hip and knee arthritis
- Addresses postoperative pain and unique social considerations for women with fibromyalgia, mental health disorders, and/or chronic opioid use
- Includes value-based care considerations such as impact on health disparities, the doctor-patient relationship, cost to patients, and access to care
