Book SynopsisTrade Review"While there are several comprehensive books available on cartilage restoration, I like this one because of its mentor-like perspective from Dr. Minas. It is like a mini-fellowship in cartilage restoration from one of the masters. This is a worthy addition to the library of sports medicine fellows and surgeons performing cartilage restoration of the knee." ©Doody's Review Service, 2022, Mark R.
