Surgical orthopaedics and fractures Books

Book SynopsisBiportal endoscopic spine surgery has been rapidly developed recently, and Unilateral biportal endoscopic spine (UBE) surgery may be new stream in spine surgery. UBE surgery is a new concept of surgery that is different from the existing one portal endoscopic surgery, and has the advantage of being familiar with spinal surgeons as the surgical anatomy is similar to a general surgical method, and the learning curve period is short. The 4mm diameter endoscope provides a very clear image, and it can be safely operated under magnified and clear endoscopic view. It is also available to use general surgical instruments in addition to endoscopic surgical instruments during UBE approaches. Currently it is being performed not only in the lumbar spine, but also in the cervical and thoracic spine. In addition, simple laminectomy, disc removal, and spinal fusion are possible. With the advancement of UBE surgery, spinal surgeons from various countries have been performing UBE in recent years, and it is gradually spreading to the world. This will be the first book summarizing from basic to advanced techniques with abundant illustrations and video aid for easy understanding. Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisFor centuries, orthopaedic surgeons have been managing the pain, limp, and gait disturbance that develop in association with various traumas and diseases of the hip joint. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that has a good range of movement, but it is stable and rarely dislocates, even after high-impact trauma, and can withstand repeated motion and a fair amount of wear and tear. However, despite its durability, it is not indestructible. With age and use, the cartilage can wear down or become damaged. Overuse of muscles and tendons of the hip, for example, in athletes, leads to hip pain due to muscle strain or tendonitis. Other factors that can cause pain and lead to progressive arthritic changes include the abnormal anatomy a person is born with, conditions that develop during the growth and development of bones, and trauma as well as wear and tear due to ageing. The diagnosis and management of hip injuries have evolved substantially with advances in hip arthroscopy and diagnostic tools such as MRI and new, minimally invasive techniques.This book provides a detailed account of the hip joint’s anatomy and biomechanics and serves as a practical guide for the diagnosis and treatment of hip diseases and injuries at all ages. The book covers recent trends in orthopaedic surgery of the hip joint, including the latest advances in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), computer-assisted navigation for THA, resurfacing of the hip joint, neoplastic conditions around the hip, and indications, complications, and outcomes of hip arthroscopy. The chapters are written by experts who have contributed greatly to the understanding of problems of the hip joint. The book will be appreciated by undergraduate and postgraduate students, experienced hip surgeons, medical doctors, and practicing consultants in orthopaedics.Trade ReviewThis book is truly a bible of the current medical and surgical state of knowledge regarding hip joint. It should be on the shelves of every specialist in the field.Pierre Kehr, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, October 2017, Volume 27, Issue 7 (1027-1028)This monumental volume, of which K. Mohan Iyer is the editor, was written by several authors. It contains more than 500 pages and provides a comprehensive cover of the hip joint in 15 broad chapters. After a rather brief embryological and anatomical description, the author studies the biomechanics defining the forces applied to the femoral head in particular. Each condition is studied thoroughly with clinical diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and classifications, including the recommended treatments and complications. Each chapter ends with a rich reference list. In conclusion, this book is truly a bible of the current medical and surgical state of knowledge regarding the hip joint. It should be on the shelves of every specialist in the field (orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, rheumatologists, may they be senior or in training), or at least it should be accessible electronically.Pierre Kehr, European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, October 2017, Volume 27, Issue 7 (1027-1028)Table of ContentsAnatomy of the Hip Joint.

Book SynopsisThis Monograph is a compilation of clinical experience and basic research by the author on the function and anatomy of the shoulder joint, with particular emphasis on biomechanics. The book provides deep and comprehensive knowledge about the shoulder based on the author’s over forty years of career. This book is unique in that it emphasizes the process of discovering new knowledge through searching for clinical questions or “whys” and solving them. The author shows how he tackled various problems with a great deal of medical curiosity. The chapters place much space on anatomy, function, and pathology, for correct treatment through an accurate understanding of the pathology. The first part of this book explains the basic examination methods as clearly as possible, with abundant figures taken during patient consultations. Part two through four describes some diseases of the shoulder joint, including rotator cuff tears, instability, frozen shoulder, biceps disorders, and throwing shoulder, all of which are frequently encountered in daily practice. In part five, biomechanical research related to suture anchors is presented, and correct insertion angles and intervals are described. It is crucial to understand the surgical method correctly and question the commonly used techniques for better patient care. A clear explanation of long-standing debates, such as the deadman theory, is explained based on the evidence from his research. The last part presents two cases that are rarely encountered but are interesting from the perspective of functional reconstruction of the shoulder. Shoulderology - Searching for “Whys” Related to the Shoulder invites shoulder surgeons, fellows, residents, and medical students to read the thought-provoking collection of evidence and interpretations of the common knowledge. It will be of interest to orthopaedic surgeons specializing in other areas. The author places a strong emphasis on educating young researchers and provides valuable guidance apart from the basic research and clinical practice and hopes that the book will motivate the subsequent generations to pursue further study.Table of ContentsFront matter ForwordFront matter ForwordFront matter PrefaceFront matter AcknowledgmentsFront matter Message to the YoungCh 1 Introduction Part 1 Shoulder Examinations Ch 2 Physical Examinations of the Shoulder Part 2 Main Shoulder Diseases – Rotator Cuff Tear Ch 3 Rotator Cuff Part 3 Main Shoulder Diseases – Shoulder Instability Ch 4 Stabilizing Mechanisms Ch 5 Traumatic Dislocation Ch 6 Multidirectional Instability (Loose Shoulder) Part 4 Main Shoulder Diseases – Others Ch 7 Frozen Shoulder Ch 8 Long Head of the Biceps Ch 9 Throwing Shoulder Part 5 Biomechanical Research Related to Suture Anchors Ch 10 Anchor Insertion Angle: Deadman Theory and its Interpretation Ch 11 Minimal Safe Distance between Suture Anchors: Relationship between the anchor distance and pullout strength Part 6 Rare Shoulder Diseases Ch 12 Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) Ch 13 Trapezius Paralysis.Back matter Index
