The book covers a range of pathologies, including ligament injuries, patellar conditions, and periarticular issues, while providing detailed guidance on various surgical approaches to the femur, tibia, and stifle joint compartments.

The book includes sections on the contracture of the quadriceps femoris muscle, rupture and injury of the patellar ligament, patellar tendinitis, Osgood-Schlatter disease, and periarticular injuries. It also features an annex detailing surgical approaches to the distal femur, proximal tibia, and the medial, lateral, and caudomedial regions of the stifle joint.
