Preface

A picture is worth a thousand words, and the goal of this atlas is to better understand patellofemoral conditions through pictures. This is the reason we have decided to publish this book as a spin-off of the original book Anterior Knee Pain and Patellar Instability. All the images and summaries are compiled in order to convey a simple understanding of this complex problem. It is designed to be a detailed visual guide, presenting the reader with a wealth of images that will form a crucial aid when faced with surgery of the knee and particularly that of the patella. It is a very practical book, aimed at the general orthopedic surgeon but will also be very useful to those that already specialize in surgery of the knee.
