The Knee and Shoulder Handbook

"""Dr. Reznik has accomplished an amazing feat of condensing material on common injuries to the knee and shoulder. His 'orthopaedic novel' flows in a highly readable fashion. It is perfect for patients seeking both injury prevention and orthopaedic care. Its comprehensive and balanced review makes it equally useful to medical personnel of all specialties."" -John J. McGraw, MD, FAAOS, Colonel (retired) US Army Medical Corp; Medical Director Emeritus, OrthoTennessee; Member, Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners ""Dr. Reznik provides a perfect source for any patient who wants to be more educated about their knee and shoulder problems. This comprehensive yet concise handbook explains basic and complex topics in an easy to understand manner, giving the reader a chance to make their own informed decisions about their health. The book is head and shoulders (and knees) above anything you'll find on Google, and my only hope is that his next publication will focus on the foot and ankle so that I can recommend it to my patients."" -Dr Lance Silverman MD, Orthopedic Surgeon and Vice President of Oil Can Marketing, specializing in medical educational and health care blogs ""After battling knee and shoulder issues for 40 years, I was fascinated by Dr. Reznik's book. Despite all the explanations I've received from orthopedists and physical therapists, until now I've never really understood how knees and shoulders work (and don't work). Dr. Reznik explains many of the issues I've experienced (and many more I haven't experienced) in language that's easy to understand for people outside the medical profession. I now have a much better understanding of issues such as knee locking, patellar tendonitis, swelling, meniscus tears, and cartilage loss and I understand better many of the treatments I've undergone including cortisone shots, physical therapy, and knee replacement. Perhaps the most important part of the book is the advice to parents on how to prevent childhood injuries from sports. Dr. Reznik's explanations of how overuse injuries can evolve into lifelong issues should be a must-read for parents. I will certainly be buying a copy of this book for each of my children so that they can learn best practices that enable my grandchildren to enjoy sports while minimizing joint problems."" -Steven Shwartz, PhD, Author of Evil Robots, Killer Computers, and Other Myths"
