5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, Great Information., December 18, 1997

This review is from: Dr. Scott's Knee Book: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Knee Problems Including Torn Cartilage, Ligament Damage, Arthritis, Tendinitis, Arthroscopic Surgery, and Total Knee Replacement (Paperback)

Dr. Scott's Knee Book was a great source of valuable information to me after having an ACL Reconstruction. This book is a must have for anyone who has recently undergone a knee operation or is in the process of doing so. In easy to understand language this book really helps you understand the mechanics of the knee and how to prevent serious injuries. It also includes great rehabilitation information for the person coming back from a knee injury. I can't say enough about this book.

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr. Scott's Knee Book: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Knee Problems Including Torn Cartilage, Ligament Damage, Arthritis, Tendinitis, Arthroscopic Surgery, and Total Knee Replacement (Paperback)

Dr. Scott's Knee Book is a top-notch source of inforamtion for the knee patient. A must read for anyone with knee problems, or for anyone who doesn't have knee problems and wants to avoid them. It's filled with information on every possible type of knee problem/injury and knee surgery. It also covers a full range of knee exercises that can be applied not only to rehabilitation, but also to general strengthening of the knee.

Written in plain English, anyone can easily understand this book. This book is a must read for everyone, not just knee patients.

This review is from: Dr. Scott's Knee Book: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Knee Problems Including Torn Cartilage, Ligament Damage, Arthritis, Tendinitis, Arthroscopic Surgery, and Total Knee Replacement (Paperback)

I live in Europe and bought this book because I realized my doctors were never going to tell me anything about my upcoming ACL surgery except when to turn up at the hospital. I found the information concise yet thorough, well-organized, and well-written. Scott explains injuries, solutions, prevention, and "how to" from every angle. In short, the book was exactly what I was looking for. My only comment would be that anyone getting operated on outside the US (probably very few or zero readers of this review!) will probably have a very different experience, but still I felt much much more secure and better equipped to handle the whole thing after reading this book.
