David will answer the call for all in orthopedic surgery seeking succinct and highly visual books that will provide step-by step-instructions on arthroscopic techniques for the shoulder, knee, and hip. "Arthroscopic Techniques of the Knee: A Visual Guide" by Dr. Thomas J. Gill is unique in its presentation in that it is meant to be used as a 'how-to' technique guide that includes intraoperative photos taken with the arthroscope, detailing and illustrating each step in arthroscopic surgery of the knee from start to finish. Dr. Thomas J. Gill is joined by multiple contributors, each a national leader in his or her area of expertise.
