[Traumatology of the knee joint--radiologic and accident surgery aspects--2]

The second part is devoted to the presentation of the accident surgery aspects of knee lesions. For every topographical region the anatomical features, the most frequent causes of fractures, as well as the conventional classification criteria, are described. In each case also the principal surgical methods are described. Lesions of tendons or ligaments have been included only insofar as they have occurred within the context of an osseous lesion.
