New hope for patients with arthritis of the knee thanks to biological cartilage replacement.

by Dr. med. Jürgen Toft Price: EUR 22 First Edition (Hardback) Publication Date: October 2000 Dimensions: 16 × 24 cm Publisher: Alpha Klinik, Germany ISBN: 3-00-006520-2 For the "man-on-the-street", there is virtually no literature on minimal invasive arthroscopic joint surgery. The treatment possibilities described in this book are especially interesting for patients who are too young for an artificial knee joint and wish to pursue an active lifestyle after treatment. Popular opinion says that the chances of healing a case of arthritis are very slim. This book opens new horizons for patients who do not wish to accept this diagnosis. In addition, readers will learn about healthy nutrition habits that can further speed the healing process in arthritis patients. The arthritis condition and treatment possibilities are described in lay man's terms, which helps patients decipher other medical reports that they may read or hear about. In addition, a huge array of images makes the "medical jargon" understandable even for patients who are informing themselves about this area for the first time. Since it was published in English, French, German, Italian and Russian in 2001, Dr. Toft's book has sold over 26,000 copies worldwide and has been featured on well-known German and international television programs, as well as in many mainstream and medical magazines (e.g. N24 and "World of Wonders" on German TV, plus a number of TV programs in the U.S. and BBC News online).
