Book SynopsisThe definitive book on reverse shoulder arthroplasty from leading orthopaedic shoulder surgeons This masterful book from top experts provides clinical insights on reverse shoulder arthroplasty gleaned from hands-on refinement of shoulder replacement techniques. Years of significant biomechanical and clinical research yielded invaluable knowledge that led to important improvements in functional outcome and implant durability. Among these refinements were stronger polyethylene derivatives, better ingrowth technology, and improved connection devices. As the durability and longevity of implant technology increased, younger active patients became suitable candidates for this procedure. In fact, RSA has played a pivotal role in making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest growing implant technology. In the first two sections, the authors take the reader through the history and evolution of RSA, followed by step-by-step surgical techniques for specific injuries and conditions. The next three sections discuss past and recent outcomes, complications, and rehabilitation. The last section covers special considerations including patient specific instrumentation, convertible humeral and glenoid components, and the future potential of stemless humeral technology. Key Features The latest trends in patient-specific components, guide systems, and instrument design The use of RSA for rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthritis, and acute and complex fractures In-depth discussion of techniques to improve deltoid function, avoid impingement, and increase implant longevity Clinical pearls on how to recognize and handle complications that occur: instability, infection, scapular notching, component loosening, glenoid and humeral bone loss, and RSA failure High quality videos and 300 superb illustrations further delineate techniques This book is a practical resource that enables learning complex procedures, putting them into practice, and handling complications should they arise. It is an essential tool for all orthopaedic surgeons who treat shoulder conditions.Table of ContentsThe Basics 1. History of Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty 2.

Book SynopsisWhile arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for most elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, internal fixation is the treatment of choice in the majority of patients below the age of 65 as a joint-preserving procedure. The osteosynthesis of fractures of the femoral neck in the elderly has been partly abandoned during the last years due to the poor clinical outcomes following the conventional fixation with parallel screws or DHS. Based on clinical evidence and laboratory testing, the novel method of biplane double-supported screw fixation (BDSF) offers much better fixation stability, reflecting in excellent clinical outcomes. With its innovative biomechanic principle, the BDSF method provides supreme stability for cannulated screw fixation, achieving up to 44% higher axial fixation strength in vitro, and a rate of bone union reaching up to 96.6% in clinical practice, which is much higher than the conventional parallel screw fixation data. The method of BDSF provides supreme stability by buttressing two out of three medially diverging cannulated screws on the inferior femoral neck cortex and supporting the steeper inferior screw on the posterior femoral neck cortex. The two calcar screws are oriented in different coronal inclinations intended to provide constant fixation strength during different patient activities and load directions. Biomechanically, the most effective component is the inferior screw placed at an obtuse angle and supported on a large area along the inferior and posterior cortex of the femoral neck following its spiral anterior curve. Given the clinical outcomes, BDSF is the perfect technique for femoral neck fracture fixation, as the fracture healing rate is high at 96% with this approach. Therefore, BDSF is not only a treatment alternative to conventional fixation, but also a much better procedure. Thus, BDSF should be routinely applied, and conventional fixation gradually abandoned in clinical practice (this has been the approach in our institution over the last ten years). This book describes the full surgical technique of the method of BDSF for femoral neck fracture osteosynthesis; quality criteria and surgical recommendations for successful BDSF implementation, according to the vast clinical experience of ten years with this highly effective method. A novel surgical approach for hip arthroplasty is described in this book. The current trends aimed at decreasing operative trauma and blood loss have been not entirely satisfied with respect to most of the standard approaches for hip arthroplasty. These surgeries are often associated with considerable blood loss and the necessity for restricting patients' activities in the postoperative period due to impaired joint stability and risk of dislocations. This book describes the full surgical technique of the novel anatomical direct lateral approach for hip arthroplasty, aimed at decreasing blood loss, minimizing operative trauma, and optimizing joint stability. This technique is associated with minimal blood loss and high joint stability. Patients are allowed to perform activities within the normal range of motion in the early postoperative period. This book describes also the history of internal fixation in femoral neck fractures, as well as the biomechanics of femoral neck fracture osteosynthesis and the role of the implants.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:Print: https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=65355E-Book: https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=65356

Book SynopsisThe earliest human known to have the capability of walking erect on two legs is Sahelanphropus, who lived 6 million years ago. The ability to stand erect led to required extensive changes in the human skeleton, including significant changes in the cervical spine. In modern humans, the cervical spine holds the head upright and gives it great mobility. The combination of great mobility in this spinal segment combined with the requirement that it carry significant weight makes the cervical spine susceptible to a wide variety of pathologies. The cervical spine not only supports the head upright, but acts as a channel for the full set of neural elements connecting the brain with all near and distant parts of the body; thus, pathologies involving the spinal column in this segment directly affect the cervical spinal cord and exiting nerve roots. Today, excellence in spine surgery requires a thorough understanding of spinal anatomy, relevant neurology, and biomechanics, as well as skilled use of a variety of surgical techniques. The surgeon must master the ability to effectively select from a wide and constantly changing variety of alternative instrumentations and surgical approaches. In addition, the trend towards reducing the invasiveness of surgical procedures has led to the use of smaller and smaller tools and smaller surgical incisions with more limited views of the relevant anatomy. As a result of the rapid pace of change, the choice of an optimal technique in any given situation is increasingly complex. In this book, we begin with a basic review of anatomy, neurology, neurophysiology, and biomechanics. We also discuss clinical and radiological assessment required for a differential diagnosis, and present a thorough discussion of the importance of sagittal alignment of the spine and the utility of gait analysis. We proceed with a thorough discussion of nontraumatic pathologies causing cervical myelopathy, beginning with the craniocervical junction down through the subaxial spine, in pediatric and adult populations. This discussion includes steps in the differential diagnosis for specific pathologies, surgical techniques and nuances, radiation-based treatment alternatives, and special topics ranging from the use of stem cells to robotics and endoscopic surgery. We have attempted to provide both fundamental and state-of-the-art knowledge and to share the rich experience of some of the leading spine surgeons worldwide, with the aim of enabling surgeons at all levels to advance their own capabilities for performing safe and successful procedures in this area of complex anatomy.Table of ContentsPreface; Acknowledgements; Descriptive Anatomy and Embryology of the Cervical Spine; Biomechanics of the Cervical Spine; Differential Diagnosis of the Cervical Spine: Clinical Evaluation; Electrophysiological Assessment in Cervical Spine Disorders; Radiological Evaluation of the Non-Traumatic Cervical Spine; Sagittal Alignment of the Cervical Spine; Utility of Gait Analysis in Patients with Cervical Myelopathy; Timing of the Diagnosis in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy; Indications and Timing of Surgery in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy; Stem Cell Therapy in the Management of Cervical Degenerative Disease; C1-2 Instability and Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy; Cervical Decompression and Fusion through an Anterior Approach; Posterior Cervical Decompression with Cervical Laminoplasty; Posterior Approaches to the Cervical Spine Cervical Decompression and Fusion through an Anterior Approach; Tumors of the Craniocervical Junction; Surgical Approaches to the Craniocervical Junction for Neoplastic Lesions; Surgical Approaches in Metastatic Disease Involving the Craniocervical Junction; Intradural Extramedullary Spinal Cord Tumors; Intradural Intramedullary Spinal Cord Tumors; En Bloc Resection of Primary Bone Tumors of the Cervical Spine: Surgical Considerations and Avoiding Complications; Surgical Management of Spinal Metastases Involving the Cervical Spine; Advanced Radiotherapy for the Primary Tumors in Cervical Spine; Advanced Radiotherapy for Metastatic Disease of the Cervical Spine; Stereotactic Radiosurgery for the Management of Intradural Neoplasms of the Cervical Spine; Cervical Kyphosis and Scoliosis; Vertebral Osteomyelitis, Discitis, and Epidural Abscess of the Cervical Spine in Intravenous Drug Users; Cervical Myelopathy of Vascular Origin; Cervical Myelopathy in Pediatric Patients; The Cervical Spine in Achondroplasia; Tuberculosis of the Cervical Spine; The Role of Sagittal Alignment in Surgery for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy; Fusion Techniques for C1C2 Instability; Transoral Approach for the Lesions of the Dens; Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Craniocervical Junction; Full-Endoscopic Surgical Strategies with Anterior and Posterior Approaches; Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: The Controversy between Use of an Interbody Graft with Anterior Plating versus a Stand-Alone Cage; Cervical Disc Arthroplasty; Robotic and Image-Guided Surgery in the Cervical Spine; Operative Neurophysiology of the Cervical Spine; Surgical Complications with the Anterior Approach; Surgical Complications with the Posterior Approach; The Future of Cervical Myelopathy Management; Index.

Book SynopsisInjury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common and typically affects young individuals; in particular, girls have higher rates of sustaining non-contact ACL injuries than boys when they engage in sports that involve jumping, pivoting, and changing direction. Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors for ACL injury have been identified, including anatomic variations, neuromuscular deficits, hormonal status and other related factors. Despite a lack of scientifically validated and published guidelines to help clinicians decide between conservative and surgical treatment, patient-specific criteria, such as age, pain, recurrent joint instability, desired level of activity, occupation and presence of potential concomitant injuries, should be considered. Neuromuscular training can reduce the risk of ACL injury, especially when combined with other strength training exercises. Chapter One in this book outlines the current state of knowledge regarding the risk factors, treatment and prevention of ACL injuries. Chapter Two provides is a better understanding of what associated factors are identified following ACL tear and explore the current understanding of the impact these have on treatment and subsequent outcome. The final chapter discusses surgical and rehabilitation concepts of matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation in the treatment of knee articular cartilage defects.

Book SynopsisWith the increasing interest in sports and the prolongation of life expectancy, the frequency of musculoskeletal pain is increasing day by day. Musculoskeletal pain, which is included in the differential diagnosis of every physician regardless of branch, can cause serious problems in people''s daily lives. People''s unresolved pain disrupts their social lives and brings along various psychological problems. When this becomes a vicious cycle, it creates pain that cannot be solved. In this book, the possibilities of recognizing and understanding pain and taking an active role in the treatment process are presented. This book, which offers a deep examination of the physiology and genetics of pain, provides an approach to the causes and treatments of musculoskeletal pain that physicians frequently encounter in their daily clinics. We hope that this book, which we have prepared with the contributions of all relevant specialists, will be a book that our physicians will frequently benefit from.

Book SynopsisThe rate of publication of new materials and research exceeds the capacity of any individual to keep fully abreast. So how are we to keep up-to-date and sufficiently informed to practice evidence-based medicine? One way is to rely on authoritative yet unbiased reviews of important questions written by authors dedicated to education of the reader; that is the purpose of this book. It has been a formidable challenge, therefore, for our internationally-based contributors to wade through the sea of evidence and pick out significant advances that represent a true step forward in our knowledge. Whether the reader is an established practitioner wishing to update their knowledge or a trainee wanting to brush up on current opinion before exams, this book should fit the bill. The size of the task would be prohibitive if every aspect of trauma and orthopaedics was to be considered. For this reason we have selected key areas where rapid expansion in knowledge is occurring or where there is topical interest. We hope, therefore, that we have summarised a sufficiently broad range of topics to make this essential reading for orthopaedic surgeons of all grades.Table of ContentsSources of Infection in the Operating Theatre; The Investigation of Skeletal Malignancy; The Management of Paediatric Long Bone Fractures; Congenital Talipes Equinovarus; Acute Management of the Patient with Spinal Cord Injury; Total Disc Replacement in the lumbar Spine; The Glenoid Component of Total Shoulder Replacements; The Classification of Shoulder Instability; Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilisation; Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair; Rehabilitation of the Shoulder; Radial Head Replacement; Total Elbow Arthroplasty in Elective and Trauma Surgery; Distal Radius Fractures; What's New in Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery?; Hip Fracture Management Trends; Resurfacing Arthroplasty of the Hip; Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement; Surgical Management of the Infected Hip Prosthesis; Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction; Posterolateral Instability of the Knee; Meniscus Repair; Unicompartmental Knee Replacement; Clinical Gait Analysis.
