Utilizing a practical, high-yield presentation, this textbook is a comprehensive review of the most common shoulder and elbow diagnoses and management strategies. It allows easy access to pertinent information for residents and fellows while preparing for rounds, the clinic and the operating room and also aides residents studying for their yearly in-training exam (OITE). Each topic is organized in a consistent, bulleted format so that the information flows in a logic manner: history, physical examination, imaging (when and what to order), and the most appropriate treatment algorithm. The most common classification systems are emphasized and illustrated, and treatment algorithms are further organized into non-operative and operative and include surgical approaches as well as the risks and complications of surgical intervention. The shoulder and elbow are covered in their own exclusive sections, with each chapter discussing the unique diagnostic considerations for each anatomic structure and the types of injuries to expect. Topics in the shoulder section include osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy and tears, instability, stiffness, SLAP tears and biceps tendinitis, and fractures of the clavicle and scapula. Topics in the elbow section include biceps and triceps rupture, lateral and medical epicondylitis, instability and stiffness, and elbow fractures - distal humerus, Monteggia, the terrible triad and more. Case material, key points and takeaways, and question-and-answer elements are included to enhance the text's overall utility. There is currently no textbook on the shoulder and elbow tailored specifically for orthopedic residents, fellows and senior medical students. The Resident's Guide to Shoulder and Elbow Surgery therefore provides a much-needed resource for early-career clinicians and surgeons.

This booklet, published in cooperation with ISAKOS, is a concise, up-to-date guide and reference on the treatment of cartilage lesions of the ankle that will be of practical clinical value for specialists in sports medicine and sports traumatology. Different techniques and the management of various lesions are described step by step, guiding the practitioner through the entire spectrum of care from evaluation of the injury to successful recovery. Chondral and osteochondral lesions of the talus can present as a consequence of repetitive ankle injuries, causing chronic pain, recurrent swelling, and weakness and stiffness of the ankle joint. An accurate early diagnosis is required, using clinical evaluation, imaging techniques and arthroscopy of the ankle. In acute and non-displaced chondral and osteochondral lesions, conservative treatment is the mainstay. Surgery is recommended for unstable and persistent lesions and consists in several techniques focused on regeneration of the cartilage. Returning to play is possible after testing balance and proprioception, strength, range of motion, and agility.

R5,821 Discovery Miles 58 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Spine surgery has increasingly become a surgical field of its own, with a distinct body of knowledge. While available textbooks cover the intricacies of spine surgery and provide extensive information on each pathology, these books are not geared towards the requirements of the novice and are insufficiently portable for the busy resident to carry while on rounds or on call. This easy-to-use book, written by acknowledged experts, is designed to meet such needs by providing essential information on spine pathology, diagnostic evaluation, surgical procedures, and other treatments. After an opening general section, degenerative spinal disease, pediatric spine conditions, spine trauma, spine tumors, infections, inflammatory disorders, and metabolic conditions are all discussed in more depth. Alongside description and evaluation of surgical options, important background information is included on pathology, presentation, diagnosis, and nonsurgical treatments. Potential complications of surgery are also carefully considered. Spine Surgery Basics will be an invaluable practical aid for all who are embarking on a career in spinal surgery or require a ready reference that can be consulted during everyday clinical practice.

Bone is ubiquitous and versatile, and uniquely repairs itself without scarring. However, we rarely see bone in its living state-and even then, mostly in two-tone images that only hint at its marvels. After it serves and protects vertebrate lives, bone reveals itself in surprising ways, sometimes hundreds of millions of years later. In Bones, orthopaedic surgeon Roy Meals explores and extols this amazing material that both supports and records vertebrate life. He demystifies the biological makeup of bones; how they grow, break and heal; and how medical innovations-from the first X-rays to advanced surgical techniques-enhance our lives. With enthusiasm and humour, Meals also reveals the enduring presence of bone outside the body-as fossils, ossuaries, tools, musical instruments-and celebrates allusions to bone in history, religion and idiom. Approachable and entertaining, Bones richly illuminates our bodies' essential framework.

R3,353 Discovery Miles 33 530 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Injury 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.
