Unfortunately, this book does not go into any detail that you can't easily find on the web. It's out of date; no coverage of the new hip resurfacing techniques.

5 out of 5 stars This book is a must for an orthopedic patient!.......2007-01-13

I found this book to be extremely positive and informative.Although it focuses on the knee and hip, I would recommend it to anyone facing non-emergency surgery.This book does explain in layman's terms the actual proceedures for a knee or hip,however what I found most helpfull was the information on how to prepare for surgery,what to expect the day of surgery such as hospital proceedures, and post surgery.The technicalities of surgeries for other joints are easily obtainable on-line.It was the info mentioned above surrounding the hospital experience that I felt to be the most helpful and enpowering.

5 out of 5 stars Easy Read and very informative.......2006-05-21

I have read a lot about this subject, yet still learned more. Goes into detail, yet the writing is very easy to read -- slight humor included -- and warnings about areas you might want to skip if you are squimish. Also, good description about how to find a doctor -- the advice rang true to my experience.

5 out of 5 stars Candid and detailed.......2005-08-13

Because I am considering a knee replacement, this book had lots of helpful info. There were plenty of details and excellent suggestions for dealing with knee/hip replacement issues. I had already done considerable research, but this book went significantly beyond what I had learned. Written in an interesting manner and by an "insider" who seeks to inform rather than having an ax to grind with other doctors.

5 out of 5 stars The only book you will need!.......2005-08-04

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I read Doctor Grelsamer's book prior to undergoing knee replacement surgery. I had also read several others. His was by far the most complete and answered all my questions. I didn't feel like I was entering surgery unawares. I highly recommend this book if you are thinking about knee replacement surgery.
