Dr. Scott's Knee Book: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Knee Problems

I bought this & "The Knee Crisis Handbook" by Dr Brian Halpern. "The Knee Crisis Handbook" is better. Both cover knee surgery and sports, but Dr Halpern's has a whole exercise plan for your knees - stretching, "quickie" workout, ACL workout, general knee health, etc. Dr. Halpern is also more realistic about living with your 'bad' knee(s). For example, Dr. Halpern discusses how to protect your knees when playing football, etc. Whereas Dr Scott just tells you not to do 'em. Dr. Halpern's was also more personal - many patient interviews included. Helps you to get a feel for what you can & can't do with your knees. And Dr. Halpern's book seemed more informative & detailed without being boring or long. Wish I'd had this when I first injured my knee in college nearly 20 yrs ago. But better late than never.

Very informative and helpful tips.

A 20 year old book, but knee structure hasn't changed and, surprising to me, many of the treatments and procedures described are the same today.

Suffering considerable knee pain recently, I saw this on Amazon. It provides a good overview of knee problems and treatment.

Great help for knee replacement patient

Generally very helpful products for dealing with chronic management problems.

Very easy to read. Helping us to understand what the doctors are talking about so we can ask the right questions.

Being a student and wanting to be a doctor, I read lots of medical books so I can gain a better understanding for anatomy and medicine. In Dr. Scott's Knee Book, Dr. Scott writes as if he were on your level as to what you know about the human knee. He doesn't write like he's a big shot orthopaedic surgeon talking to incompetents. In his great book, Dr. Scott focuses on the anatomy of the knee, diseases and inhuries of the knee, and treatments for knee problems. He basically covers everything that somebody would want to know on the knee. I recommend this handy book to a medical student, soembody that has knee problems, or anybody interested in the anatomy, treatment, and diagnosis of the knee. This is a great reference that should be in your home medical library.HAPPY READING!
