Surgical orthopaedics and fractures Books

Book SynopsisAuthored by two world-renowned pioneers in the field of spinal surgery, Modern Management of Spinal Deformities: A Theoretical, Practical, and Evidence-Based Text covers the range of spinal deformities-emphasizing scoliosis-and their etiologies, including idiopathic, congenital, neuromuscular, tumors, neurofibromatosis, and more. All too often in other works, too much attention has been focused on how to put in metalwork, without sufficiently discussing the what, when, and why. Authors Dickson and Harms provide a wealth of knowledge through experience that shows how important newer therapeutic concepts and surgical methods are, such that beyond just preventing the progression of deformity, it is now possible, with correctly performed surgery, to eliminate deformity and straighten spines permanently. Features: Evidence-based diagnostic and treatment concepts, emphasis on an understanding of the scientific principles providing the basis for good practice Superbly illustrated with many radiographs, CT images, and drawings Special newer surgical techniques, such as the anterior approach to the spine Spine surgeons, whether orthopaedically or neurosurgically trained, will value this authoritative treatise on spinal deformities.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book has been designed to lead you through the first steps of the shoulder arthroscopy. Offering a companion guide, its numerous illustrations and videos support the text and aid in comprehension.The most common mistake in shoulder arthroscopy is to focus on the screen, whereas an external perspective is needed, though not always easy to achieve in practice. We recommend following the chronological order for the first techniques, which are then detailed one by one and can be read separately depending on the problem encountered. These techniques, all of which were developed by the author in the course of 20 years of arthroscopic surgeries, are characterized by their simplicity. After having mastered these techniques, the reader will have the basis needed to evolve on his or her own.Table of ContentsPrefaces.- Introduction.- Chapter 1 Being in the right conditions.- 1.1 Avoiding steam.- 1.2 Properly entering the shoulder.- 1.3 Avoiding blood.- Chapter 2 Being properly installed.- 2.1 Installing the patient.- 2.2 The surgeon's ergonomy.- Chapter 3 Basic essentials.- 3.1 Stable image.- 3.2 Straight image.- 3.3 Finding your instruments.- Chapter 4 Exploring the shoulder.- 4.1 The glenohumeral.- 4.2 The subacromial space.- Chapter 5 Tips for the key surgeries.- 5.1 Before the surgical arthroscopy.- 5.2 The rotator cuff.- 5.3 The subscapularis.- 5.4 The biceps.- 5.5 Instability and the arthroscopic Bankart.- Chapter 6 Less frequent surgeries.- 6.1 The acromioclavicular.- 6.2 The subscapularis nerve.- Chapter 7 How to evolve your techniques.- 7.1 Analyze your mistakes, travel and create.- Conclusion.

Book SynopsisAt the request of our publishers, I accepted the task of preparing this second edition. I felt this was necessary for several reasons: new imaging technologies such as CT scanning and 3-D reconstructions are now used routinely, the in­ dications for employing improved approaches are clearer, and reconstructions are facilitated by new internal fixation devices. Above all, I thought it was time to report the long-term results of the 940 acetabular fractures, 90070 of which were treated surgically - a unique series. In spite of the experience acquired from the three previous reviews of cases (1966, 1971, and 1978), I failed to foresee the amount of time this revision would need. In fact, it took more than 3 years to follow up the larger number of cases, and 159 patients (out of 800, i. e. 22. 7%) were not included as they had moved since their last review and simply could not be located. At a time when it is in fashion to evaluate the cost of health care, it is strange to see how public administrators, so keen on evaluating the immediate cost of our opera­ tions, do not care about the quality of their long-term results, which appears to us, however, to be the best basis for the choice of the initial treatment.Table of ContentsIntroduction: History and Development of Our Methods of

Book SynopsisIn the early 1950s, the pioneering work of Robert Danis on operative treatment of fractures was in danger of falling into oblivion. Maurice E. Muller, impressed and intrigued by his contacts with Danis, first critically applied internal fixation and immediate mobilization to some 80 patients and found the basic concept confirmed, but in need of further develop- ment with regard to technology, clinical application, and scientific analysis. In 1958 he assembled a group of friends, general and orthopedic surgeons, willing to invest time and effort in helping to create the necessary armamentarium and to form a study group for clinical trials. This group was set up in the same year under the name Arbeitsgemein- schaft fiir Osteosynthesefragen (AO), later on to be known in English-speaking countries as the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation (ASIF). The first report on operative treatment of fractures by Muller, Allgower, and Willeneg- ger, published in 1963, stressed the advantages of early open reduction and internal fixa- tion. This book, first published in German, amusingly lost an important part when trans- lated into English. At the suggestion of worried American and English partp. ers, a picture series showing the healing pattern of 188 tibial fractures operated on in Chur between December 20, 1961 and April26, 1962 was left out.Table of Contents1 Basic Aspects of Internal Fixation.- 2 Preoperative Planning and Principles of Reduction.- 3 Screws and Plates and Their Application.- 4 Medullary Nailing of Femur and Tibia.- 5 External Fixation.- 6 Pre-, Intra- and Postoperative Guidelines.- 7 Scapula, Clavicle, Humerus.- 8 Forearm and Hand/Mini-Implants.- 9 Pelvis.- 10 Acetabulum.- 11 Proximal Femur.- 12 Femoral Shaft and Distal Femur.- 13 Patella and Tibia.- 14 Malleolar Fractures.- 15 Foot.- 16 The Spine.- 17 Compound Fractures.- 18 Fractures in Children.- 19 Pseudarthroses.- 20 Infections.

Book SynopsisThe original AO/ASIF Instrumentation manual presented a concise and complete description of the AO instruments. Thoughtfully developed by Fridolin Sequin and Rigmor Tex­ hammar, the manual discussed in a clear fashion the purpose and care of the various AO instruments that are handled by the operating room staff. One important feature of the first edition was a detailed checklist of the instruments required for the more common operative procedures for treating fractures. Fridolin Sequin was well-suited to author the first edition: his 15 years of experience as a technical engineer for the AO gave him in-depth knowledge of AO instruments, and he drew on the clinical knowledge of Rigmor Texhammar, a consultant and di­ rector of the AO courses for nurses. Its original feature of com­ bining a column of text with a column of illustrations meant the manual quickly became accepted as a standard. By 1981, trans­ lations could be found in English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Not surprisingly, the manual was very popular.Table of Contents1 Introduction: Assumption of Knowledge.- 2 History of Osteosynthesis.- 3 Atlas of Anatomy.- 4 Basic AO/ASIF Technique: Aims and Principles.- 5 Clinical and Special Assessment.- 6 AO/ASIF Instrumentation.- 7 Internal or External Fixation of Various Fractures.- 8 AO/ASIF Technique in Late Reconstructive Surgery.- 9 Surgical Fixation of the Immature Skeleton.- 10 Infections After Surgical Fixation.

Book Synopsis​This cutting-edge monograph on advanced clinical anatomy and pathoanatomy of the shoulder, written by the world’s leading authors, reflects recent significant advances in understanding of anatomy and pathology. It is beautifully illustrated with exquisite photographs of anatomical specimens, and images from arthroscopy, histology, and radiology complete the picture. The accompanying text brings out the clinical, biomechanical, and functional relevance and focuses on aspects important to the high-performance athlete. In addition, the book closely assesses how each component of the normal anatomy responds to trauma, disease, and degeneration. The finer points of the pathoanatomy are demonstrated with clinical cases, histology, radiology, arthroscopy, and open surgery. The text details how the pathoanatomy affects the patient presentation, clinical examination, and imaging. It is also explained how the pathology affects the natural history and the outcome of physical therapy and influences recommendations for surgical treatments. This book will be of immense value both to trainees and to specialists who manage disorders of the shoulder, including orthopedic surgeons, sports physicians, and physiotherapists. It will also be of great interest to anatomists and pathologists.Trade Review“This book gives complete overview of the shoulder joint.

Book SynopsisOver the past few years, international literature has highlighted the limitations of arthroscopic treatment for antero-inferior instability of the shoulder. Therefore, the question arises as to which technique – open surgery or arthroscopy – may represent the best alternative to the classical arthroscopic capsuloplasty. The volume is organized into five chapters and presents five different techniques. Each chapter describes the non-surgical and surgical algorithms for the treatment of unidirectional and multidirectional antero-inferior instabilities, with and without shoulder laxity. The chapters offer a detailed description of each technique, enhanced by 10–15 high-definition photographs, tips and tricks, and pitfalls, as well as surgical steps. The book is aimed at medical students, fellows, specialists , orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation and generalist physicians.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book is unique in its focus on uncommon restoration techniques for shoulder instability, but its most impressive feature is its collection of high-definition, oversized anatomic and surgical images that draw readers deeply into the actual surgical procedure. … The book clearly targets younger surgeons who have been taught arthroscopic techniques and may have begun to lose the art of open surgical shoulder reconstruction. … It is a worthy addition to the libraries of surgeons who will perform complex shoulder instability reconstructive techniques.”­­­ (Mark R.

Book SynopsisLumbar spine disease constitutes the most common condition affecting the spine. Degeneration among all other pathologies frequently impairs the normal functioning of the lumbar spine. Lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) surgery is, thus, the most common surgery performed by spine surgeons, neuro, and orthopaedic surgeons. LIF techniques have evolved and been modified over decades for the best clinical outcomes. The advent of newer technologies and instrumentation have further minimized tissue damages. Spine surgeons, who need to be versatile, need to have sufficient knowledge about pros and cons of each approach to get the best clinical outcomes. This book is a reference resource to fulfil that purpose. Salient Features: The discussion elaborates on different LIF procedures. Provides an overview algorithm to use different available procedures in various clinical scenarios based on the advantages of each procedure.

Book SynopsisThis book aims to introduce the most recent microsurgical techniques and applications in the pattern of illustrative case presentations, including digit replantation, toe-to-hand transplantation, peripheral nerve injuries especially total brachial plexus avulsion injury, surgical flaps. Microsurgery appeared to be a great procedure suitable for more applications. Anatomic research of the blood supply of skin, fascia, nerve, muscle, and bone identified flaps could be carried by pedicle vessels. Transfer of these flaps and revascularization by micro-vascular anastomoses of the arteries and veins set the stages for free flaps. In free flap surgery, single-stage and complex reconstructions could be achieved, which then lead to earlier mobilization and better restoration of function with a shorter hospital stay. Today, microsurgical technique is fully matured, and micro-vascular free tissue transfer is an essential part of reconstructive surgery. Development of microsurgery in China is introduced in the initiation of the current book. Key technical points and experience of replantation, reconstruction, tissue repair, nerve repair and reconstruction, oncological repair and reconstruction cases together with other applications of microsurgery are further demonstrated.Table of ContentsPart 1 Upper limbs and hands 1 Successful replantation of the distal phalanx of the little finger in a newborn: A case report 2 Replantation of

Book SynopsisThe book adopts the principle of guiding surgery by anatomy, fixation by biomechanics, and clinical procedures by functional recovery. In each chapter, the applied anatomy of the fracture site is first introduced, which confers prominence to the relationship between the anatomical structure and surgery and emphasizes the structure that must be protected and repaired during surgery. In addition, the biomechanical characteristics of the fracture site are described, so that the appropriate fixation method can be selected according to the characteristics of the mechanical environment. In most chapters on periarticular fractures, the book also describes in detail how the joints fulfil their function, which is often the core of clinical decision-making, with the hope that the reader can understand the how and the why.The book adopts the outline-style format instead of the traditional paragraph-by-paragraph discussion to supply readers with the "extracted essence" in a more succinct manner, which improves the logical flow and concision and thereby improves the readability of the book. In addition, using more than 3,000 illustrations and photos in 3 volumes, many of which were obtained from our clinical practice, the book discusses injury mechanisms and the classification and assessment of extremity and axial skeleton fractures, with a focus on typical and new surgical methods developed in recent years. These illustrations and photos provide the reader with a good reference for learning surgical techniques and skills.This third volume is focusing on axial skeleton fractures and nonunion in 5 chapters.Table of ContentsCervical Spine Fractures and Dislocations.- Thoracolumbar Fractures.- Pelvic Fractures.- Acetabular Fractures.- Nonunion.
