Review :
"Fu and Cohen's Current Concepts in ACL Reconstruction is an in-depth, unique text intended to illustrate the intricacies of historical, modern, and future trends of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction... it is very thorough in explaining healing phases and when progressions can be made safely. The text also provides illustrations, diagrams, and figures that are helpful in summarizing the points." -- Michael S.
