In diesem essential wird das "Complex Regional Pain Syndrome" (CRPS), fruher als "Morbus Sudeck" bezeichnet, als zermurbende, die Lebensqualitat zerstoerende chronische Schmerzkrankheit vorgestellt. Sie manifestiert sich als lokale akute Entzundung oft nach Bagatelltraumen, charakterisiert durch Schmerz, Schwellung, Temperaturunterschiede und livide Verfarbung der betroffenen Extremitat. Neue Erkenntnisse in der Pathophysiologie dieser immer noch ratselhaften Erkrankung fuhrten zu Fortschritten im Verstandnis, in der Diagnostik und vor allem in der Therapie. Das mit dem CRPS assoziierte Knochenmarkoedem ist heute mit Bisphosphonat- Infusionen heilbar. Sonderformen des CRPS bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, bei Schwangeren und im hohen Alter werden vorgestellt.

Osteoporose ist keine einfach hinzunehmende "Alterserscheinung", sondern ein weltweites und zunehmendes Gesundheitsproblem. Die WHO hat die Osteoporose als eine der zehn wichtigsten und teuersten Volkskrankheiten eingestuft. In Europa sind jede dritte Frau und jeder funfte Mann davon betroffen, mit den Folgen langanhaltender Schmerzen, koerperlicher Beeintrachtigung bis hin zur Immobilitat, sozialer Isolierung und Pflegebedurftigkeit. Heute ist aber der Knochenschwund in Form der Osteoporose als eine fruhdiagnostizierbare, gut behandelbare und im Fruhstadium sogar "heilbare" Krankheit einzustufen. Der praktische und konsequente Einsatz der zahlreichen und unterschiedlich wirksamen Medikamente ist jetzt Aufgabe der behandelnden AErzte und betroffenen Patienten- eine multidisziplinare Anstrengung, die sich lohnt!...Osteoporose ist heute so uberflussig wie ein Kropf!

Die degenerative Erkrankung des Daumensattelgelenks, die Rhizarthrose, fuhrt zu einer wesentlichen Einschrankung der Daumenopposition und damit nahezu jeder grob- und feinmotorischen Greiffunktion der Hand. Im Anfangsstadium der Erkrankung stehen wirksame konservative Therapieoptionen und spater gelenkerhaltende Eingriffe zur Verfugung. Im fortgeschrittenen Erkrankungsstadium, nach Ausschoepfen der konservativen Therapie und bei entsprechenden Beschwerden koennen gelenkresezierende Eingriffe indiziert sein. Die Resektionsarthroplastik des Daumensattelgelenks hat sich als Standardeingriff bewahrt, da sie zuverlassig und mit einer niedrigen Komplikationsrate zu einer deutlichen Schmerzlinderung und einer hohen Patientenzufriedenheit fuhrt. Die neueste Generation von Endoprothesen fur das Daumensattelgelenk zeigt in mittelfristigen Nachuntersuchungen bei geringen Luxations- und Lockerungsraten und den Vorzugen einer schnelleren Rekonvaleszenz, sowie dem Erhalt von Lange und Stabilitat des Daumenstrahls sehr gute Ergebnisse in Bezug auf Schmerzlinderung, Beweglichkeit und Kraftentwicklung.

Orthopedic Clinical Examination With Web Resource provides readers with fundamental knowledge for developing proficiency at performing systematic orthopedic evaluations. Michael P. Reiman, who is internationally respected for his teaching, clinical practice, and research focused on orthopedic assessment and treatment methods, presents an evidence-based guide on the examination process for various parts of the body. The text takes a structured approach, moving from broad to focused, that guides clinicians in examining each client and condition. The text presents specific components of the examination in the same sequence, ensuring repetition and improved consistency in learning. Screenings are used early in the examination sequence not only to determine the appropriateness of performing an orthopedic examination but also to rule out other potential pain generators and thereby narrow the focus of the examination. Orthopedic Clinical Examination emphasizes evidence-based practice and therefore focuses on tests that are clinically relevant, providing students and clinicians with the most appropriate testing options rather than listing tests with no regard for their clinical value. Both treatment-based and pathological-based diagnostic styles are covered in detail so that readers will gain a thorough understanding of both approaches and be able to implement them separately or in tandem. In addition to musculoskeletal testing, the text provides information on including subjective history, observation, diagnostic imaging, systems and neurological screening, and performance-based measures in each examination. The text is organized into five parts and is structured such that readers will first acquire requisite knowledge about anatomy and the examination process before advancing to acquiring specific examination skills. Part I presents information about the musculoskeletal and nervous systems as well as tissue behavior and healing. Part II introduces the principles of the examination sequence. Parts III and IV present the region-specific examination sequence for evaluating clients, including specifics on analyzing the head, spine, and extremities. Each chapter in these two parts covers the anatomy of the region, various types of injuries that occur, specific tests and measures that can be used, and cross-references to specific case studies for further review. Part V highlights additional considerations that may be necessary for special populations during the examination process. Orthopedic Clinical Examination includes learning tools that enhance comprehension and engagement: * Full-color photographs and illustrations demonstrate anatomy, patient conditions, and clinician positioning to serve as a visual reference and ensure proper testing techniques. * A library of 50 videos, found in the web resource, provides students with visual demonstrations of assessments and treatments. * Color-coding graphics throughout chapters help readers quickly discern whether evidence supporting the reported finding is ideal, good, or less than good. * Overviews of common orthopedic conditions for each body region are in the 12 applied chapters. * Twenty-four case studies guide users in the proper questions to ask and steps to take in conducting examinations. * Linkss to abstracts of articles provide additional clinical learning scenarios. With Orthopedic Clinical Examination, current and future clinicians will gain the knowledge and confidence they need in performing examinations to provide optimal patient care.

A second edition of the definitive resource for all those wanting to use massage therapy to treat pain and injury conditions. Fully updated and revised Orthopedic Massage has been written for those interested in understanding and applying massage as an intervention for soft-tissue disorders. Recent research into the physiological effects of massage has strengthened the justification for its use in the treatment of soft-tissue pain and injury conditions. Orthopedic soft-tissue problems are common among the general population, whether from sports, occupational activities, or chronic pain. This text presents a comprehensive and in-depth look at the physiological nature of these conditions and the massage treatments most effective for their relief. A particular contribution this text makes is its validation for the role of massage in treating orthopedic conditions.

However, most of those who are trained in the use of massage therapy techniques have little opportunity to learn about the orthopedic issues involved. Orthopedic Massage aims to help the clinician understand the relationship between the soft tissues to which they apply their techniques and the overall orthopedic disorder affecting their clients. Although written chiefly for massage practitioners, the lessons it teaches are relevant to any practitioner who is concerned with the treatment of soft-tissue injuries. Includes detailed technical information, extensive illustrations, and reliable reference material essential to everyday practice. Provides a comprehensive approach to treatment of common soft tissue pain and injury. Explains common orthopedic problems in detail, addressing biomechanics, kinesiology, and anatomy. Provides an in-depth discussion of the physiologic rationale for soft tissue treatments and explains those most effective for each condition.
