This book sets standards in the understanding of biomechanics and ligament reconstruction techniques of the arguably most complicated joint in the human body. From functional anatomy to optimal therapy, this was the fundamental idea that Prof. Werner Müller based his 1982 book "The Knee - Form, Function, and Ligament Reconstruction Surgery" on. From this perspective, which made the first edition very successful, the team of Jagodzinski, Friederich, and Müller has updated the work to the latest medical standards.
