There is a brief description of the knee and how it works along with a lateral view of the knee in the beginning of the booklet. The rest is divided into different questions such as How are Knee Problems Diagnosed? and What Kinds of Doctors Treat Knee Problems? They answer each question thoroughly breaking the answers down into different sections. In one area, they discuss different knee injuries. They talk about the causes, the symptoms and treatment for each. It is fairly easy to understand as they take care to explain words people might not know. The way the booklet is set up makes it easy to skim through, do a thorough reading or just find the one question you wanted answered.
The document contains interesting and useful information. It might not give you all the details you are looking for in relation to your question but it covers the basics. NIAMS also has a website nih.gov/niams. There is also a guide in the back listing other agencies their addresses and websites if you are looking for more information. The booklet isn’t thick but it does a good job with the subject matter. If you have a question on knee problems, this is the item for you!
