Biomechanics of the Knee With Application to the Pathogenesis and the Surgical Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Pathological conditions affecting the hip and knee joints occupy a particular place amongst the important orthopaedic entities affect ing the extremities. On the one hand they are relatively frequent and on the other they mean for the patient limitation of his ability to walk, because of their cons...
