From the reviews:
“This book on revision ACL surgery covers everything from preoperative planning to how to deal with tough and complex cases. … While residents and fellows will benefit significantly from this book, it is clearly intended for reconstructive surgeons who are willing to take on the unique challenges of revision surgery. … a worthwhile addition to academic orthopedic libraries and a must for surgeons who commonly perform these surgeries and wish to stay current on the more complex possibilities.” (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2014)
