Beschreibung
Advances in the Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament, the first book in the Advances in Veterinary Surgery series, presents a state-of-the-art summary of current knowledge on cruciate rupture, one of the most important orthopaedic conditions in dogs. Written by leading specialists and edited by a highly respected veterinary orthopaedic surgeon and researcher, the book takes a cross-disciplinary, evidence-based approach. It provides the information necessary to accurately diagnose, treat, and manage cruciate rupture cases and is a valuable reference for clinicians seeking the most current information on this important condition.
