description: A comprehensive reference for arthroscopic indications and techniques in small animals. The detailed and thorough text is accompanied by over 200 illustrations, making this title an atlas of arthroscopic anatomy and pathology.· Over 275 full-color, digitally enhanced photographs visually walk the reader through detailed techniques, illustrating the required instrumentation, instrument care, arthroscopic technique, and arthroscopic anatomy.· A CD-ROM features video demonstrations of arthroscopic procedures, with voice-over descriptions and explanations accompanying the video.· A full discussion of orthopedic disorders of the shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle and tarsus includes specific characteristics of these disorders, diagnosis and treatment, and examples of clinical cases.· No other reference addresses the topic of small animal arthroscopy with the same high-level quality of illustrations and depth of coverage.· Illustrations are integrated within the text in each chapter, rather than grouped in plates at the end, so readers can easily refer to the images discussed.· Each joint is presented in a separate chapter, with each chapter containing the all the important information relevant to that discussion.· A chapter on the history of arthroscopy includes a discussion of documentation and education to highlight the benefits of arthroscopic procedures while providing a solid historical framework.· A chapter on instrumentation demonstrates how to use and care for instruments.· Diagnostic indications assist the reader in understanding the procedures for diagnosing conditions.· Case studies provide clear examples of procedures and possible complications.
