Knee ligament injuries are very common and are frequently sports
related, although they may arise from trauma experienced during
everyday activities. This book provides in-depth descriptions of
the extra articular surgical techniques that may be employed when
performing ligament reconstruction in patients with injuries
involving the posterolateral and posteromedial corners of the knee.
It is intended as a practical, "how to" manual that will be of
value for both the trainee and the more experienced surgeon. Many
of the techniques relate to the central pivot of the knee, i.e. the
anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. For each technique,
indications, presurgical planning, postsurgical follow-up and
complications are discussed in addition to the surgical details.
Numerous tips and pearls are provided and the techniques are
clearly depicted in informative high-quality illustrations.
Aim of this book is to give an update on the main issues in
sports traumatology and orthopedics, involving different body
sections.
Exploring the most important aspects of sports medicine - from
anatomy to normal movements description, from diagnosis to sports
injuries treatment, from conservative to surgical treatments - it
gives a global overview of the field, describing also diagnostic
tools recently introduced in this field, such as hip arthroscopy,
and taking into consideration related areas like nutrition,
prevention, training and rehabilitation.
The single chapters deal with relevant problems such as
emergencies on the field, pathologies of the upper and lower
extremity, spine problems in athletes. Each injury is approached on
the basis of both the specific body area and of the different
sports/activities.
Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, this volume will
be a fundamental book for orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists,
general practitioners, personal and athletic trainers, offering
them a useful tool for the management of most frequent injuries in
sports medicine.
Alexander the Great's campaigns in the East brought the Greek and
Eastern worlds in closer contact than was possible in previous
centuries. While Greeks and non-Greeks had lived alongside each
other for centuries before Alexander's conquest of the East, it was
during the Hellenistic period that a more direct interaction of
cultures occurred. The material evidence from the lands that formed
part of Alexander's empire, in combination with contemporary
theoretical approaches, can hopefully lead to attempts to answer
why specific borrowings occurred as well as how such borrowings are
interpreted by contemporary scholars. This volume is a direct
result of the broader cross-cultural research interests of the
editors.
