This highly illustrated textbook is an essential guide for surgeons in training, providing step-by-step approaches to performing surgical procedures. Practical guidance is given on patient positioning, approach and reduction techniques, which implant to insert, protocols for postoperative mobilisation, possible complications, when the patient should be seen in the outpatient clinic, and whether the implant should be removed. This second edition has been extensively expanded and revised. Additional chapters address fractures of the scapula, fractures around the elbow, around the foot and minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis procedures. All of the other chapters have been expanded and revised to comprehensively cover the range of common trauma procedures performed by surgeons in training. Written by experts in orthopaedics and trauma, the book includes numerous intraoperative colour photographs to help readers visualise the techniques described. This will be an invaluable resource for all surgical trainees in orthopaedics, trauma, and general disciplines.
The 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.
If I have seen further, it is by standing on ye shoulders of giants. Sir Isaac Newton (1675) Although congenital displacement of the hip has always been recognised as the commonest pre-natal deformity of the musculoskeletal system found in otherwise normal children, it is surprising to find that much of our present-day understanding concerning its origin and nature has been discovered only in the past 150 years and its successful management eventu ally emerged during the last 60 years, almost within the professional life time of our more senior colleagues. Whereas Hippocrates (460-370 B. C. ) appeared to recognise patients that had experienced dislocation of their hips in utero and identified them from acquired forms of displacement, according to Severin (1941) it was another 2000 years before Palleta (1820) first recorded a careful description of the deformity based on his observations at an autopsy performed on an II-day-old boy with bilateral dislocations; he concluded that the findings were not caused by injury at birth, but dated from a pre-natal stage. Soon after, Baron Dupuytren (1847) gave an accurate description of congenital dislocation in his contribution entitled "Memoire sur un deplacement original ou congenital de la tete des femurs." He noted the absence of abscesses and fistulae as seen in painful and cruel pathological dislocations, which led him to believe that these congenital displacements were not likely to be the result of foetal disease as the affected babies appeared quite healthy at birth."
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.

The incidence of developing infection in prosthetic joints remains low after primary arthroplasty, but owing to the growing success of joint replacement surgery as a procedure to alleviate pain and improve mobility, infection numbers are increasing. The impact on the patient is immense, and surgical options are challenging. Prevention and reducing the incidence is the key to addressing this problem. Pathways in Prosthetic Joint Infection covers the most common incidences where the risk of PJI is elevated (such as following revision arthroplasty), and indicates suitable approaches to aid the improvement of outcomes. Featuring clearly-illustrated clinical cases on the typical presentation of established and latent infections, the microbiology profiles, assessment, and definitive management are all highlighted. Taking a team-based approach that includes the ortho-plastic surgery team, physiotherapists, and microbiologists, this new book provides a concise summary of the current literature and an essential overview of the management options for those with PJI. Endorsed by the Royal College of Surgeons, BAPRAS, The Vascular Society, and BASK, Pathways in Prosthetic Joint Infection is an indispensable title for all those working with patients who may face PJI.

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.
Written by leading orthopaedists and rehabilitation specialists, the second edition of Hoppenfeld's Rehabilitation and Treatment of Fractures presents sequential treatment and rehabilitation plans for fractures of the upper extremity, lower extremity, and spine. The book demonstrates how to treat each fracture--from both an orthopaedic and a rehabilitation standpoint--at each stage of healing. Introductory chapters review the fundamentals of fracture management--bone healing, treatment modalities, biomechanics, assistive devices and adaptive equipment, gait, splints and braces, therapeutic exercise and range of motion, and determining when a fracture is healed. Subsequent chapters focus on management of individual fractures. Each chapter on an individual fracture is organized by weekly post fracture time zones, from the day of injury through twelve weeks. For each time zone, the text discusses bone healing, physical examination, dangers, x-rays, weight bearing, range of motion, strength, functional activities, and gait/ambulation.
