    Cette monographie consacrée aux prothèses totales de genou de première intention dresse un état de l'art de la pratique clinique. Elle prend appui sur les particularités techniques de cette chirurgie courante, qui touche différents types de population, souvent âgée mais parfois plus jeune et active voir sportive. L'ouvrage fait le point sur les prothèses en décrivant successivement : – la gestion pré- et péri-opératoire ; – les implants ; – les principes techniques communs à toutes les PTG ; – les spécificités et particularités techniques ; – les résultats. Les chapitres, richement illustrés de plus de 250 dessins originaux, photographies, clichés et arbres diagnostiques insistent non seulement sur les aspects de technique chirurgicale, mais aussi sur la gestion du patient en périopératoire, l’analyse des attentes des patients, le choix des implants, l’analyse des résultats et la prise en charge des situations spécifiques. Le but de cet ouvrage est de donner les clés de base de cette chirurgie, de permettre d’anticiper les difficultés, de rendre cette intervention la plus reproductible possible. Plus de soixante spécialistes livrent, pour les orthopédistes en formation et confirmés, les clés d'une pratique adaptée.
