About this book
Are you looking for concise, practical answers to those questions that are often left unanswered by traditional ACL references? Are you seeking brief, evidence-based advice for complicated cases or complications? Curbside Consultation of the ACL: 49 Clinical Questions provides quick answers to the many questions most commonly posed during a "curbside consultation" between surgical colleagues. Drs. Bernard R. Bach, Jr. and Nikhil N. Verma have designed this unique reference which offers expert advice, preferences, and opinions on tough clinical questions commonly associated with ACL management. The unique Q&A format provides quick access to current information related to ACL management with the simplicity of a conversation between two colleagues. Numerous images, diagrams, and references are included to enhance the text and to illustrate the management of ACL issues. Curbside Consultation of the ACL: 49 Clinical Questions provides information basic enough for residents while also incorporating expert advice that even high-volume clinicians will appreciate.
