Book SynopsisThere has been significant progress in the field of spinal disorders in very young children over the past two decades. However, the treatment of such conditions remains challenging due to the age of the patient, different etiologies, associated morbidities and the progressive nature of the deformity. Depending on the etiology of the deformity, these children are often cared for by multiple specialists including pediatricians, pulmonologists, pediatric orthopedists or orthopedic spine surgeons, pediatric surgeons, pediatric neurosurgeons, neurologists and oncologists. Health professionals in all of the mentioned disciplines are involved in the management of these patients, which is why compiling a comprehensive text that is not limited to orthopedic specialists is essential. Since the second edition of this book was published, there has been a significant body of literature that has been published and advances made in the care of young children with spinal and thoracic deformities. This new edition will effectively help to standardize the care of these patients. Furthermore, other professionals, such as nurses, physical therapists and healthcare professionals in training, are usually not familiar with these conditions and are in need of a reference book to consult when caring for young children with spinal deformities. Sections are arranged thematically and comprise a comprehensive presentation of the current knowledge on disorders of the growing spine. After opening sections discussing general considerations and patient evaluation and diagnosis, subsequent sections describe the various categories of spinal deformity - idiopathic, congenital, neuromuscular, syndromic, and others - followed by surgical and non-surgical management strategies, both traditional and growth-friendly. Concluding sections address patient care and outcomes and outline future directions for research and practice.Table of ContentsPart I: General Considerations for the Growing Spine.- Part II: Patient Evaluation.- Part III: Idiopathic and Congenital Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part IV: Neuromuscular Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part V: Syndromic Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part VI: Other Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part VII: Non-surgical Management of Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part VIII: Traditional Surgical Management of Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part IX: Growth-friendly Surgical Management of Spinal Deformities in the Growing Child.- Part X: Patient Care and Outcomes.- Part XI: Current and Future Considerations for the Growing Spine.

Book SynopsisAnterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the most common procedures performed in sports medicine centers. However, these procedures can carry a long-term failure rate as high as 5-15%%, and when these procedures fail, revision is significantly more complex. Considerable factors need to be assessed in patients that are indicated for surgery, as revisions carry a higher failure rate and potentially less optimal outcomes and return to sport and activity. These factors include, but are not limited to, the status of the meniscus, overall alignment, graft options, placement of prior implants or tunnels, collateral ligament quality, and whether or not the revision must be staged into two procedures. This text provides a comprehensive, case-based presentation of the most efficient and practical treatment algorithms for patients in need of revision ACL repair and reconstruction. Opening chapters discuss the initial patient work-up, radiography, surgical indications, graft options, and pre-operative considerations and preparations. The main portion of the book then describes both common factors leading to revision surgery as well as the surgical techniques themselves, illustrated via plentiful operative photos and vivid clinical case material. The management of osteolysis, ligamentous laxity, extra-articular tenodesis, plane correction, and meniscus deficiency, among others, are discussed in detail. Special populations, such as the pediatric patient, the elite athlete and the female athlete, are discussed as well. Shedding light on this challenging surgical repair, Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction is the go-to resource for sports medicine and orthopedic surgeons, knee specialists and residents and fellows in these areas.

Book SynopsisThe minimally invasive, anterior-based muscle-sparing (ABMS) approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA) is utilized worldwide in select locations as an effective surgical technique. As the name suggests, it is completely muscle-sparing and touts the benefits of anterior-based surgery, including a lower dislocation rate, quicker return to baseline function, and lower narcotic use than many other surgical approaches. However, there is a paucity of collected information on the technique and research associated with this technique.This text serves as a compendium of information for those surgeons interested in utilizing this surgical approach as an all-inclusive reference. As an alternative anterior-based approach to the direct anterior surgical approach, some surgeons may find the technique an improved alternative for anterior hip-based surgery. Opening chapters present the history of the anterolateral approach and how to transition to the ABMS approach, including surgical anatomy. ABMS technique with the patient positioned in both the lateral and supine positions are then presented, including associated video segments. Considerations such as implant selection, fixation, and other tips and tricks are shared, along with comparisons to other approaches, patient-reported outcomes, complications and revision surgery techniques, and rehabilitation strategies.For hip surgeons looking to expand their armamentarium of surgical approaches, The Anterior-Based Muscle-Sparing Approach to Total Hip Arthroplasty is a terrific resource.Table of ContentsThe idea of “Minimally Invasive Solution” total hip arthroplasty: History and perspective behind the modernization of surgery through the Watson-Jones muscle interval.- Transitioning to the ABMS Approach.- Surgical anatomy and approach.- The ABMS Total Hip Replacement, performed in the Lateral Position.- The ABMS Approach to Total Hip Replacement in the Supine Position.- Outpatient Total Hip Arthroplasty using an ABMS Approach.- Cementless ABMS Total hip replacement.- Cemented ABMS Total hip replacement.- Implant Selection in ABMS Total Hip Replacement surgery.- Tips & Tricks to Overcome the Learning Curve of the ABMS Approach to the Hip.- Surgical Navigation in the ABMS Approach to Total Hip Replacement.- Comparison of the ABMS Approach to Other Surgical Approaches for Total Hip Replacement.- Periprosthetic Joint Infection treatment through the ABMS.- How to Avoid Complication in the ABMS Total hip replacement.- Acetabular Revision THR using the ABMS approach.- Femoral Revision THR using the ABMS approach.- Total Hip Replacement for Fragility Fractures Using the ABMS in the Older Adult.- Outcomes of ABMS THA.- Rehabilitation after THR using the ABMS approach.

Book SynopsisOutpatient surgery and early discharge is the hottest topic in hip and knee arthroplasty and will continue to be in the coming years: It is expected that over 50% of all hip and knee arthroplasties will be performed in the outpatient setting by 2026. Currently, a central text that encompasses all of the unique aspects of performing hip and knee arthroplasty in the outpatient setting does not exist. Furthermore, as surgeons across the US and abroad are incentivized and encouraged by government and commercial payors, as well as patients, to perform these surgical procedures in the outpatient setting, the educational material must be available to disseminate the unique perioperative and surgical strategies and techniques accordingly. This book is unique in that it will address all the essential elements and considerations to promote surgeon success in this endeavor and enhance patient safety through the transition of hip and knee arthroplasty into the outpatient setting, as well as how to implement such a program into practice. Topics discussed include patient selection, medical optimization and risk management, anesthetic surgical techniques, pain management protocols, and postoperative physical therapy. Later chapters cover practical issues surrounding outcome metrics, discharge criteria, minimizing patient readmissions, financial considerations, and additional implications for hospitals, ASCs and payers.Filling a glaring gap in the literature on this popular new topic, Outpatient Joint Replacement is an ideal resource for orthopedic surgeons, notably hip and knee specialists, as well as residents, fellows and supporting clinical staff.Table of Contents1 Patient Selection for Same-day Discharge: Medical and Surgical Risk Assessment 2 Medical Optimization and Risk Mitigation for Readmission 3 Surgical Appropriateness for Outpatient TJA in an ASC 4 Essential Components of Preoperative Education and Planning 5 Multimodal Pain Management Protocols for THA and TKA 6 Surgical Techniques and Protocols to Minimize Blood Loss and Postoperative Pain 7 Anesthesia for Outpatient TJA: Anesthetic Techniques and Regional Blocks 8 Threats to Same-day Discharge: Prevention and Management 9 Is There an Optimal Place for Same-day Discharge: Hospital, ASC or “Other”? 10 Navigating the Limitations and Obstacles of TJA in a Free-standing ASC 11 Same-day Discharge in the Hospital: Resources and Program Elements 12 Discharge the Day of Surgery: Strategies to Optimize and Discharge Criteria 13 Staying Connected with the Patient after Discharge: Strategies and Resources 14 Physical Therapy after Same-day Discharge 15 Strategies to Minimize Patient Anxiety, ER Visits and Readmissions 16 Making the Transition to Outpatient: Resources and Pathway Changes 17 Outcome Metrics: What to Measure Now and in the Future 18 How to Mitigate Risk for Surgeons, Institutions and Patients 19 Financial Considerations for Surgeons in the Outpatient Setting: Costs and Ownership Models 20 Outpatient Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Implications for Hospitals, ASC’s and Payers

Book SynopsisThis second edition, in Open Access, aims to provide a comprehensive and practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture, with additional focus on those who are frail. It considers this from the perspectives of all the clinical and home care settings in which this group of patients receive care and is relevant to all global locations. The concept of orthogeriatric care is explored in detail. Global estimates suggest that there were 21 million men and 137 million women aged 50 years or more at high fracture risk in 2010. This incidence is expected to double by 2040, with the most significant increase in Asia. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers and thehe global demand for nursing care for patients with fragility fractures across the world is immense. Hip fracture is particularly challenging as these significant injuries often occur in frail older people requiring hospitalisation and orthopaedic surgery. Such injuries and associated surgery result in increased frailty, worsening health and wellbeing, pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence, and decreased life expectancy. Care providers need to understand the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of patients and families so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. Expert care of patients following fractures that require hospitalisation and orthopaedic surgery involves skill in the care and treatment of frail older people as we as individuals with an injury and undergoing surgery. Nurses have a significant role in interdisciplinary collaborative care provided through orthogeriatric models of care. There is increasing evidence that such models significantly improve patient outcomes. High quality, evidence-based orthogeriatric care is increasingly shown to have positive impact on outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation, and secondary prevention of further fracture. This book significantly supports the aims and values of the Fragility Fracture Network and, as such, supports the learning needs of nurses and other allied health professionals which will enable a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in orthogeriatric and fragility fracture care.Table of ContentsForeword to second editionPreface to first editionPreface to second edition1.

Book SynopsisThe book presents a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding mechanisms regulating the formation of mineral in vertebrate skeletal and dental tissues. The focus of the book is directed toward the mineralization process, an evolutionarily conserved system in which cells synthesize a complex and unique extracellular matrix into which mineral is deposited. Regulatory control is viewed though lenses that emphasize the genetic, physical-chemical, biochemical, structural, cellular and extracellular aspects of the mineralization process as they relate to crystal nucleation, growth and maturation. Throughout the book, defects in regulation at the genetic and transcriptional levels are linked to the numerous clinical problems associated with the mineralization of bone, cartilage, tendon, tooth, and soft tissues. The book serves as a comprehensive text for basic scientists and scholars working in the many areas that comprise hard tissue research, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and those contemplating working in the field of biomineralization or who need a review of a specific mineralization topic.
