Advances in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Advances in Total Knee Arthroplasty is a comprehensive medical reference detailing the surgical principles and technology of total knee arthroplasty. Written by Shuichi Matsuda, the book presents evidence-based data on knee joint biomechanics and the biomaterials used in arthroplasty, supporting surgeons and orthopaedic residents in their clinical practice.

Chapters begin with the history and anatomy of the knee, then expand into implant designs of articular geometry and ligament substitution. The text covers surgical planning, operative procedures, techniques to improve range of motion, postoperative rehabilitation, and patient satisfaction, with step-by-step surgical approaches for managing severe deformities.

Clinical relevance is emphasized throughout, including soft tissue balancing, component alignment, and computer-simulated studies. Published in 2024 by Springer, this first-edition resource is developed in collaboration with the Japanese Replacement Arthroplasty Society, offering academic insights for arthroplasty surgeons and trainees.
