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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

This book is must reading for anyone with knee problems. Since it was written by a doctor,it gives a lot of information that you feel you can trust, because he writes in a very frank, honest,informative manner. Very helpful,informative---a real life saver when you first get a diagnosis of knee problems. A must read!

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

Good information but in addition, I need to know if anyone out there knows about auto grafting/auto transplantation/autoplastic graft as it relates to meniscus cartilage and/or articular cartilage of the knee joint
