The knee, vital to your mobility and quality of life, is one of your most
vulnerable joints. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons,
every year more than six million people seek medical care for knee pain.
It is the most common joint injury, accounting for more than 26 percent
of all orthopedic visits. Most often knee pain is the result of repetitive wear (as in osteoarthritis),
trauma (a blow to the knee), or sudden movements that strain the knee
beyond its normal range of motion (sports accidents). In this straightforward, comprehensive book, Dr. Marc Darrow, a specialist

Common knee injuries such as tears and sprains of the ligaments, tendons,
cartilage, and meniscus, as well as deterioration of the bones forming
the knee joint
Strengthening exercises that can actually help you prevent injury
Diseases and syndromes of the knee
Osteoarthritis and related medical conditions
How to avoid risky and often repetitive knee surgeries with alternative
therapies Whether you are in the best shape of your life, a weekend athlete, or
someone now suffering trauma and pain from a lifetime of ordinary wear
and tear, The Knee Sourcebook provides expert guidance for the care
of this most vital joint. Download
