"This is not only a very informative textbook; it is also a
wonderful reference book for anyone attempting equine arthroscopic
surgery and should form part of every surgical library. It presents
the techniques involved with clarity, and copious references allow
further reading where necessary. The authors are internationally
recognised as leading exponents of arthroscopic surgery, and this
reviewer is certain that the text will continue to define the state
of the art in equine arthroscopy for many years to come." Tim
Greet; EVJ
' The first two editions followed each other in quick succession,
reflecting the development of arthroscopic surgery in the horse in
the 1980s. In the years that have followed further leaps forward in
the techniques, applications, and equipment in arthroscopy have
occurred. These are reflected in the massive expansion of the third
edition over its predecessors. Three new authors (all recognised
leaders in the field) have been added to the list of contributors,
bringing an even greater depth of experience of the discipline of
this book. The book is clearly laid out with an interesting
introduction summarising the history of arthroscopy, followed by
chapters covering some of the available instrumentation and general
techniques. This is a beautifully illustrated book, with anatomical
drawings used to demonstrate the position of the arthroscope next
to superbly clear photographs of the view obtained with that
position...The book is further improved by the authors filling the
gaps in published material with personal experiences and
recommendations, for example, in postoperative management of cases
and the value of antimicrobial and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs. In summary, this excellent book should be required reading
for anyone (whatever their level of experience) who is involved or
hopes to be involved in arthroscopy of the horse.'
