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

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Source of Knee Information, February 12, 1998

By A Customer

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but "The Knee Crisis Handbook" is better..., July 30, 2007

By	M. LaCombe (Alvin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
