This textbook offers new insights into the use of computer assisted surgery and minimally invasive surgery in orthopaedic surgery. A comprehensive presentation of scientific work and clinical experience is included encompassing areas of spine, trauma, sports and reconstructive surgery. We have added sections that discuss minimally invasive surgery, as we believe CAS will be an enabling technology for these more challenging approaches by providing a virtual digital "surgical exposure". We have explored areas of new endeavor that may not have current applications. We believe that this textbook will be attractive to those new to this area as well as providing an update for existing users. Readers will appreciate the international flavor of this textbook, each of our colleagues "speaks" in his own style.

This book focuses on two major areas in the field of computer assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS): hip and knee surgery. It reviews the current clinical status of the various CAOS tools for hip and knee arthroplasty, osteotomy, ligament reconstruction, spine surgery, trauma surgery, and tumour surgery that have become available in recent years and discusses future applications based on fundamental research and continuously developing computer technology / devices. Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery for Hip and Knee highlights three areas – total knee arthroplasty (TKA); total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip osteotomy; and statistical shape modelling.  It is a valuable resource for orthopaedic surgeons, clinical technologists and computer scientists and other specialists interested in this technology.
