This book serves as an anatomic atlas of the nerves that innervate
the joints of the human body in a format that also provides
technical insight into pathways that both interventional pain
management and surgical subspecialists can use to denervate those
painful joints when traditional approaches to manage the pain are
no longer successful. This book avails the knowledge of how
denervation can relieve joint pain available to the many groups of
physicians who care for this problem. Each chapter is devoted to a
joint and reviews the neural anatomy as it relates to the clinical
examination of the patient. Chapters are user friendly and provide
details on the indicated nerve blocks and the clinical results of
partial joint denervation. Clinical case studies also serve as a
helpful guide in each chapter. Extensive intra-operative clinical
photographs and photographs from new prosections provide examples
to guide those physicians providing care to the patients with joint
pain. Joint Denervation: Anatomic Atlas of Surgical Technique
should be of interest to surgical subspecialists from Neurosurgery,
Plastic Surgery, Hand Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Podiatric Foot
& Ankle Surgery, and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons. It may
also interest those physicians trained in Anesthesia, Radiology,
and Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine for their evaluation and
treatment protocols using hydrodissection, cryoablation and pulsed
radiofrequency approaches to pain.
