Foreword

E verything began when Johan Bellemans, Michel Bonnin, Jacques Ménétrey and I concluded the1999 ISAKOS Congress in Washington, to anxiously begin our ESSKA-AOSSM Travelling Fellow-ship. We travelled together visiting each of our host centers around the United States for almost a

month, where I enjoyed every day with my three fellows in my role as the “godfather”. During the next part of our trip when guests of Peter Fowler, one of my best friends, at the University of Western Ontarioin London, Canada, we met Annunziato Amendola, a young “Italian” surgeon. More recently I met StevenMcDonald, a brilliant young Canadian surgeon.Since normal locomotion is impossible without proper knee function and since numerous abnormalitiescan interfere with normal function, the knee joint is our most frequently operated joint in the humanbody. Th e expansion in knee treatment options and approaches introduce challenging problems to theThpracticing surgeon and to the orthopaedic residents in training. Most important, this knowledge provides the basis upon which an orthopaedist counsels a patient regarding the risks and benefi ts of every opera-fitive treatment. Actually many patients before or after the physician visit go into the internet to try to understand if the suggestions of the treating surgeon are the same suggested by the “opinion leaders”.Th ey often get confused and frightened by the very diffTh erent suggestions and proposals from diffffff erent fffforthopaedic surgeons. Th ese patients have high expectations for overcoming their knee complaints and Thability to return to their previous activity level.Th e text of this book is comprehensive and covers all surgical aspects of the knee pathology. Basic science, Thepidemiology, imaging and surgical techniques are clearly reported and illustrated in a didactic fashion.Despite the huge number of textbooks, journals and instructional courses dedicated to the knee, there are still enormous areas of controversies within the orthopaedic community. Th is is why a multicontinen-Thtal team of experts have been invited to defi ne and present their own vision and hands-on experience. fiTh e book is divided in three parts: meniscal and ligamentous injuries, patello-femoral pathology and the Thdegenerative knee. One lesson that can be drawn from this book is that none of us can accomplish much by ourselves andthat only through cooperation in groups and across national boundaries we can achieve real progress in term of improved patient care. For the future much remains to be improved and basic research needs to be further refined. With its com-fiprehensive, up-to-date summary of our knowledge of the knee, this book, thanks to the organization andknowledge of the editors, will be a very valuable aid in furthering our understanding and management of the “knee patient”.Wishing a great success to the editors, I would like to report three quotations. The fiTh rst is from WilliamfiHarvey (1578-1657): “I would say with Fabricius, let all reasoning be silent when experience gainsays its conclusion. Th e too familiar vice of the present age is to obtrude as manifest truths, mere fancies, born of Thconjecture and superfi cial reasoning, altogether unsupported by the testimony of sense.”fiTh e second is from Robert Leach: “Enjoy the book, absorb the material so assiduously collected by the Theditors and use that material to the benefi t of your patients”. Thfi e third quotation is from my teacher ThJack C. Hughston: “To readers I would say, let the experience presented by this book speak for itself.”
