The purpose of this book will be to meticulously describe and detail the vast knee surgery experience gained at the Lyon School of Medicine and to present it as comprehensive step by step guides for diagnosis, treatment options and pre/post operative management. Cases of common pathology, such as knee osteoarthritis or ligament rupture will be presented along with other less common situations, such as revision surgery.
