Book SynopsisRegenerative medicine (RM) is a rapidly expanding topic within orthopedic and spine surgery, sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine. In the last ten years, regenerative medicine has emerged from the fringes as a complement and challenge to evidence-based medicine. Both clinicians and patients alike are eager to be able to offer and receive treatments that don't just surgically replace or clean old joints or inject away inflammation or work as a stop-gap measure. Regenerative medicine encompasses everything from the use of stem cells and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to prolotherapy, viscosupplementation and beyond. This book will provide healthcare practitioners dealing with spine and joint pain with the most current, up-to-date evidence-based information about which treatments work, which treatments don't, and which are on the horizon as potential game changers. Chapters are arranged in a consistent format and cover the spine, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle, providing a thorough, top-to-bottom approach. A concluding chapter discusses current and future directions and applications of RM over the next decade or two.Timely and forward-thinking, Regenerative Medicine for Spine and Joint Pain will be a concise and practical resource for orthopedists, spine surgeons, sports medicine specialists, physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists, and primary care providers looking to expand their practice.

Book SynopsisThis new book consolidates the current knowledge of lower extremity biomechanics and pathomechanics and makes this information relevant to the study of common foot and ankle pathologies. The content is presented in a language and format that allows the clinician to review current evidence explaining the etiology of these disorders in order to formulate effective treatment interventions. In order to understand pathomechanics, the clinician must also become versed in the normal, healthy biomechanics of the lower extremity. A review of gait, muscle function and forces acting on the lower extremities during physical activity will be the focus of the first part of this book. The second part of the book will study the common, challenging pathologies treated on a daily basis by foot and ankle clinicians: hallux abducto valgus, hallux rigidus, metatarsalgia, digital deformities, adult acquired flatfoot, and plantar heel pain. These chapters discuss all the relevant factors contributing to these conditions, evaluating and exposing myths and misconceptions about the pathomechanics and treatments of these conditions. For each disorder, a comprehensive review of published research provides a foundation for an updated, valid description of etiology and risk factors. Providing a fresh approach to lower extremity pathomechanics and management strategies, Pathomechanics of Common Foot Disorders is a valuable resource for podiatrists and orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons at all levels.

Book SynopsisThis book describes and discusses the available joint preservation techniques for maintaining the stability homeostasis of the lower extremity joints – specifically the hip, knee, and ankle – following injury. Readers will find detailed coverage of anatomy, pathology, techniques for repair, restoration, and regeneration, and rehabilitation strategies. Joint preservation is an emerging field in Orthopaedics that represents a response to the limitations of joint replacement technology. Using the techniques now available, surgeons can try to prevent or delay the onset of osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions affecting the joints, particularly in young patients. Furthermore, modern tissue engineering offers the potential for whole-joint resurfacing, thereby achieving complete restoration. Optimal implementation of these techniques depends upon further refinement of methods and continuing improvements in knowledge of biomechanics, biology, and anatomy. Against this background, the present book is an ideal guide to the latest treatment modalities that will appeal to all who wish to learn more about indications, goals, procedures, and expected outcomes.Trade ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction: Part I Basic science and biologics: 1 The New Age of Orthobiologics Part II Hip: 2 Comprehensive Hip Preservation: Correction of Adult Hip Dysplasia and Repair of High-grade 3 Anatomy of the hip- joint preservation point of view 4 Anatomy, surgical management and postoperative outcomes of acetabular labral tears Part III Knee: 5 Bone marrow stimulation techniques for cartilage repair 6 One-Step Cell-Based Cartilage Repair in the Knee using Hyaluronic Acid-Based Scaffold Embedded with Mesenchymal Stem Cells Sourced from Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (HA-BMAC) 7 Chondrocyte implantation 8 Stem cells 9 Fresh Allografts 10 Synthetic and mini metal implants in the knee 11 Knee Joint Preservation Rehabilitation 12 Meniscus anatomy 13 Current Concepts in Meniscus Pathology and Repair 14 Meniscus allograft transplantation 15 Biomaterials in meniscus repair 16 Internal Bracing of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterior Cruciate Ligament with Suture Tape Augmentation 17 ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION 18 Preservation of the anterior cruciate ligament: arthroscopic primary repair of proximal tears 19 The Anterolateral Ligament 20 ACL and cartilage lesions 21 Repair and reconstruction of the Medical Collateral Ligament 22 THE POSTERO-LATERAL LIGAMENT COMPLEX OF THE KNEE 23 Patella instability 24 Arthroscopic Trochleoplasty 25 Open Trochleoplasty 26 Patellofemoral osteotomies 27 Unloading Osteotomies 28 Joint Unloading 29 Gait analysis in malalignment 30 Return to Sports after Surgery Part IV Ankle: 31 Ankle joint Cartilage pathology and repair 32 Ankle rehabilitation

Book SynopsisChondrosarcoma, a rare cancer that develops from cartilage cells, occurs mainly in the bones but can also appear in the soft tissue of the pelvis, hip and shoulder. Unfortunately, these cancers are highly resistant to both chemotherapy and radiation, and no successful adjuvant therapies currently exist. As such, surgical treatment and resection remain the mainstays of management for patients with these tumors. This concise text is a comprehensive presentation of the current knowledge regarding the development, diagnosis and management of chondrosarcomas. Part I discusses pathology, molecular biology and imaging features of chondrosarcomas. The different types of skeletal and extraskeletal tumors are presented in detail in part II, including conventional and secondary tumors. Management approaches are outlined and described in part III - limb salvage surgery is the most common, and although less effective, radiation and chemotherapy are indicated in certain cases. Part IV examines the future of chondrosarcoma management and development of novel adjuvant therapies, as well as the relationship of this disease to similar types (e.g., chordoma). Bringing together the most up-to-date information on this rare cancer, Chondrosarcoma will be a valuable resource for orthopedic oncologists, researchers and all medical professionals treating these challenging tumors.

Book SynopsisThe book is intended as the second edition of previously published ‘Current Orthopaedic Practice’. The book is a unique publication from the UK, which covers the entire clinical orthopaedic spectrum. The FRCS exam is an end-of-training examination for Orthopaedic trainees in the UK. There is a paucity of textbooks published in the UK which cover the spectrum of knowledge required. The updated edition builds on the success of the first edition. This book is divided into 18 chapters, which cover the entire remit of clinical orthopaedics. The chapter on sports injuries has been split into two chapters - disorders of the hip and disorders of the knee. A unique feature which has been retained is the incorporation of annotated bibliography within the text. The list of references has been provided as 'further reading suggestions' at the end of the chapter. The annotated text within the chapter helps the reader to understand the study design and key message from the article. The articles selected for inclusion in the text are seminal articles, or recent articles which have led to change in practice. The line drawings are simple and easy to reproduce. Classifications are presented pictorially as much as possible, instead of tables, and this helps memorisation. This book is an essential resource for all orthopaedic graduates, trainees and professionals alike.Table of Contents Trauma.-Shoulder disorders.- Adult pathology – knee.- Adult pathology – hip.- Spinal disorders.- Foot and ankle.- Hand.- Bone and soft tissue tumours.- Infections.- Nonunion.- Inflammatory joint disorders.- Arthrodesis and amputations.- Paediatric disorders.- Hip and knee replacement.- Nerve injuries and neuromuscular disorders.- Imaging.- Clinical examination.- Surgical approaches.

Book SynopsisThe global burden of geriatric hip fractures is enormous. From both the patient's and physician’s perspective, the injury is complex. A hip fracture often changes a patient’s life and/or the life of the patient’s family permanently. From the physician’s perspective, care of geriatric hip fracture patients requires a multidisciplinary team, which is led by the surgeon and which includes internists and other subspecialists within internal medicine, anesthesiologists, nurses, operating room technicians, social workers, physical therapists, and rehabilitation center coordinators and staff. Nowhere in the orthopedic literature is there a text that guides care for these complex patients from injury through recovery. This text is the first to do so by organizing and synthesizing a large body of literature. Its main themes include pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care of the patient who sustains a geriatric hip fracture. Its main objective is to organize the current body of literature into a cohesive whole so that the busy orthopedic surgeon does not have to undertake a literature search each time he or she wants an answer to the myriad questions that characterize a patient’s injury, treatment, and recovery course. With regard to pedagogy, because orthopedic surgeons in training will utilize this book, and because the case study is the central pedagogical tool in the field of orthopedic surgery, this book includes case studies within each chapter, with the author’s preferred treatment and decision-making rationale for each case. Selected video supplements reinforce real-world application of knowledge.Practicing orthopedic surgeons, as well as orthopedic residents and fellows in training, will find Geriatric Hip Fractures: A Practical Approach a highly useful and informative resource.Table of ContentsIntroduction: History of Geriatric Hip Fracture Treatment.- Initial Workup, Diagnosis, and Fracture Classification for Geriatric Hip Fractures.- Peri-operative Medical Co-management of Patients with Geriatric Hip Fractures.- Applied Anatomy for Treatment of Geriatric Hip Fractures.- Surgical Treatment of Peritrochanteric Hip Fractures.- Surgical Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures.- Periprosthetic Femur Fractures after Total Hip Arthroplasty.- Pathologic Hip Fractures in the Geriatric Patient.- Outcome Assessment and Quality Improvement for Geriatric Hip Fractures.- Rehabilitation After Geriatric Hip Fractures.- Post-Operative Bone Mineral Health Optimization in the Geriatric Patient.- Geriatric Hip Fracture Care in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.- Geriatric Hip Fractures: Economics of Care.
