Die endoprothetischen Verfahren entwickelten sich im Laufe der letzten Jahre standig weiter. Inzwischen ist, vergleichbar dem Einsatz von Huftprothesen, auch der kunstliche Kniegelenksersatz sprunghaft angestiegen und wird mittlerweile in orthopadischen und chirurgischen Kliniken als Standardeingriff durchgefuhrt. Implantate, Instrumentarium und Operationstechniken werden standig verbessert, die Indikationsstellung zur Operation erweitert, so dass zunehmend auch jungere Patienten endoprothetisch versorgt werden. Bei der ansteigenden Zahl der Eingriffe bleiben Komplikationen wie Implantatslockerung, Patellaprobleme und Infektionen nicht aus, wodurch vermehrt Revisionseingriffe notwendig werden. Problemlosungen aus der Praxis fur die Praxis, erarbeitet von Spezialisten aus 14 Landern im Rahmen des Zweiten Internationalen Kniesymposiums in Strassburg."

Each year in Germany, some 200,000 people undergo hip replacement surgery. Clear and concisely written, this book provides a comprehensive discussion of endoprosthetics and its future. Special attention is devoted to indications and contraindications, different surgical procedures (pro and contra), pain therapy, costs, postoperative complications, infections, risks, medications, length of treatment, and postoperative patient care. In order to help with treatment and care decisions, the book conveys specialized knowledge with a strong practical emphasis (e.g. by including information on hip implant manufacturers, price and quality comparisons, and multicolor illustrations). A special layout and color-coded margin assist quick reference.

The Editors of "Essentials of Cemented Knee Arthroplasty" have compiled a comprehensive textbook on what many consider the most successful surgical procedure of the century. This book rounds out the compendium previously published by Springer on arthroplasty related topics: "The Well Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty", "PMMA Cements", and "Management of Periprosthetic Joint Infection". Unique to this text is the high quality contributions from over 160 world wide experts in the field, and provides a unique international perspective on the multifaceted topic of knee replacement surgery. Sections include a focus on Surgical Indications, Implant Design, Novel Technologies, Complications, and Cementing Technique, amongst others. Each Chapter not only draws on the most current literature on the subject, but also crystalizes the most important points into clinically relevant, practically applicable "take home messages". This singular text is notable for not only its breadth, but also its depth, and will be an invaluable resource for knee arthroplasty surgeons throughout the globe.

This book is based on presentations and discussions of a group of world-renowned experts during a symposium "International Cerebral Palsy Function & Mobility Symposium: Improving Quality of Life for Individuals with Cerebral Palsy through Treatment of Gait Impairment" which was held in Banff, Canada, in December 2019. Clinicians and scientists are paired to discuss the current state of knowledge, working at the border of what we know and what we don't, to advance the care of those with gait impairment due to cerebral palsy. Using authors with different focus, points of view, and ways of thinking, to help establish a framework to guide research efforts for the next five years and to ensure that progress continues to be made to improve the quality of life for those with gait impairments. Disparate topics are unified by a common format of bulleted key points and objectives at the beginning of each chapter and research goals at the end to make the results more rapidly accessible. Focus on gait and mobility in a clear, well-structured format. Enhances debate and exploration of issues. Challenges long-held assumptions to explore the current state of research, testing, and treatment and help direct it meaningfully. The disparate topics are unified by a common format of bulleted key points and objectives at the beginning of each chapter and research goals at the end to make the results more rapidly accessible. Presents objective, but also expert opinion, on how future research could be best directed. Patient goals need more attention, outcomes have stagnated, the details of the underlying neurological impairments are still a mystery, and strong evidence for what we do is desperately needed.

Der Arzt, der orthopadische Schuhe verordnet und der orthopadische Schuhmacher, der sie herstellt - beide mussen ein Spezialwissen mitbringen, das nur bedingt in der jeweiligen Ausbildung vermittelt wird und zum grossen Teil auf einer langjahrigen Erfahrung beruht. - Wie ist ein orthopadischer Schuh gebaut - Welche orthopadischen Elemente gibt es und wie werden sie eingesetzt - Wann wird ein orthopadischer Schuh verordnet und wie muss das Rezept dafur ausgestellt sein - Worauf muss bei der Abnahme des orthopadischen Schuhes durch den Arzt geachtet werden? Fragen und Probleme, auf die der Autor aus seiner langjahrigen Erfahrung Antwort gibt. Rezeptbeispiele helfen dem Orthopaden, das orthopadische Schuhwerk so zu rezeptieren, dass der orthopadische Schuhmacher die Vorstellung des Arztes handwerklich umsetzen kann."

Regenerative 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.

Intervertebral disc degeneration is one of the major causes of lower back pain for which the common therapeutic interventions are not efficient. A search for alternative therapies for lower back pain and intervertebral disc degeneration includes cell-based therapies. Unfortunately, intervertebral disc degeneration is avascular and thus a hostile environment for cell survival. Furthermore, cellular characterization in intervertebral disc degeneration, and particularly in the nucleus pulposus, is controversial, mainly due to lack of specific markers and species variability. This book adds to the knowledge on cellular and molecular therapies for intervertebral disc degeneration and associated lower back pain. Key Selling Features: Describes the ontogeny and phenotype of intervertebral disc cells Reviews the role that inflammation plays in disco-genic pain Highlights the types of cells that might be used as sources for treating degenerating intervertebral discs Summarizes current alternative therapies Explores methods for cell delivery into degenerated intervertebral discs

This practical handbook is an essential reference for GPs when dealing with musculoskeletal disorders, as well as a useful exam prep aid for the common MSK cases that occur in the CSA. Responding to increasing pressures on GPs to reduce the number of referrals and treat more patients in the community, the book covers a breadth of orthopaedic disorders, with clear colour photographs and diagrams to demonstrate techniques in practice. Chapters are authored by experts in each disorder with GP input, putting a strong focus on diagnosis and easy-to-follow processes for deciding courses of action and investigation. Each section explores the range of treatment options for that topic, including step-by-step injection techniques where relevant, and signposts need-to-know areas with 'red flags'. This is an important reach-for guide to assist GPs with easy diagnosis and to provide clear direction on next recommended steps.It will also be useful for medical students taking orthopaedics modules.
