This textbook offers new insights into
the use of computer assisted surgery and minimally
invasive surgery in orthopaedic surgery. A comprehensive
presentation of scientific work and clinical experience
is included encompassing areas of spine, trauma, sports
and reconstructive surgery. We have added sections that
discuss minimally invasive surgery, as we believe CAS
will be an enabling technology for these more
challenging approaches by providing a virtual digital
'surgical exposure'. Finally, we have explored areas of
new endeavor that may not have current applications. We
believe that this textbook will be attractive to those
new to this area as well as providing an update for
existing users.

This is the 3rd in a series of reviews,
centered on a single major topic of bone replacement
(Vol. 1
Bone Formation, Vol. 2 Bone Resorption) written by
acknowledged authorities in the field. The biology of
stem cells and cell signals, knowledge needed to make
stem cell engineered, bone tissue a reality and how to
prevent bone allograft infection is discussed.
Furthermore, non-degradable and biodegradable scaffolds,
necessary implants to attract bone cells and build
suitable bone replacements follow. Other topics are
motion and bone degeneration analysis and effect of
mechanical factors on bone healing, implants and their
role in reparative dentistry and the application of
computational modeling to prosthesis design.

Femoral neck fractures occur primarily
in the elderly population, and nowadays arthroplasty is
chosen most frequently as a treatment solution. In the
era of financial restrictions in health care system
non-invasive internal fixation is an attractive choice,
because in addition to the lower immediate costs the
rehabilitation period might also be shorter. In this
illustrated atlas the authors deal with epidemiological
aspects, anatomical and biomechanical specialities of
the given region, diagnostic and management potentials,
satisfactory both for orthopaedic and trauma
specialists.
By means of presenting minimally
invasive technique step-by-step, and their own results,
the aim is to persuade the reader that the ratio of
complications remarkably can be diminished by urgent
surgery, based on selective indication criteria. Aspects
of postoperative treatment and rehabilitation are also
clarified in details. The research team under the
guidance of Professor Manninger collected experiences of
50 years.

Step-by-step guidelines for a large
variety of complex cases
-
Richly illustrated
Modern weapons and high-energy accidents
inflict devastating damage to soft tissue and bone. The
gold standard for stabilizing high-energy fractures is
immediate external fixation followed by thorough
debridement of soft tissues and dead bone and
irrigation, since these injuries are always grossly
contaminated. The next stage of treatment – the coverage
of exposed bone by vital soft tissue and definitive
skeletal stabilization and reconstruction – can be a
complex surgical challenge. The protocol of staged
external fixation developed by the authors: primary
temporary unilateral tubular stabilization followed by
definitive circular Ilizarov (hybrid) fixation, is
outlined and comprehensively described in this book. The
text provides guidelines for the young surgeon as well
as the senior orthopedic trauma surgeon in staged
definitive limb functional reconstruction. The rationale
and advantages of a logical progression of surgical
steps are explained and fully illustrated throughout,
drawing from an archive of clinical photographs and
X-ray documentation covering all steps of the treatment
protocol in a large variety of complex cases, including
extensive bone and soft tissue loss. This practical
guide is based on the accumulated experience of 40 years
in the treatment of severe injuries of the
musculoskeletal system with grave tissue loss, and in
particular war injuries. Emphasis is given to the proper
attention and care of the soft tissues, sequential
damage control, and the judicious staged use of
appropriate external fixation.
Contents:
Introduction: Statistics. Epidemiology. Etiology and
pathogenesis. Missile injuries. Explosive – Blast –
Crush injuries. Classification according to extent of
bone and soft tissue loss. Primary treatment and
'damage control': Tissue debridement of high-energy
injuries. Primary skeletal stabilization (unilateral
external fixation frames, hybrid frames, temporary
articular bridging). Soft-tissue protection by external
fixation frames. Vascular reconstruction. Soft-tissue
coverage (delayed primary suture, skin and local tissue
flaps, free tissue flaps). Definitive skeletal
reconstruction: Ilizarov circular fixation. Hybrid
frames (variations in modular combination between
different types of external fixation devices). Hinged
fixation of peri-articular injuries. Peculiarity of the
elbow joint reconstruction: methods of isolated hybrid
external fixation of humeral, ulnar and radial bones.
Arthrodesis in extensive joint destruction. Limb salvage
in severe bone and soft tissue loss: Bone reconstruction
by callotasis and bone transport. Acute shortening.
Acute shortening and angulation. Post-traumatic
infection: Soft tissue. Bone. Early functional
rehabilitation, especially in peri-articular injuries:
Active and passive joint mobilization in external
frames. Weight bearing. Tactics in bilateral lower limb
injuries, including one-sided limb loss. Algorithms and

Until recently most attention was
focussed on low back pain but now the key area of interest
for new research is neck pain and related headache often
associated with whiplash or poor posture in working
environments such as using computers. This book presents
the latest research findings and gives recommendations and
guidelines on how to relate those findings to the
prevention and management of neck pain. It also points the
way fo areas where more research is needed. |
