Arto Inferiore chirurgia

Nonostante i successi delle tecniche di rivascolarizzazione periferica, la percentuale di amputazione degli arti inferiori nel paziente arteriopatico è ancor oggi elevata. Questo tipo di intervento non deve però essere considerato a priori come causa di perdita di autonomia funzionale, ma il mezzo per ottenere una nuova capacità deambulatoria. In quest'ottica la presente monografia si propone di delineare le tappe fondamentali di un ideale percorso per il raggiungimento di questa ambiziosa meta. In particolare viene sottolineata la necessità di un'attenta valutazione clinica, strumentale e anestesiologica del paziente nella fase preoperatoria.

Written by recognized experts in podiatry, this full-color text/atlas is a practical "how-to" guide to the most advanced and successful techniques for treating foot and ankle problems. The authors describe their preferred techniques in step-by-step detail, identify pitfalls and potential complications, and offer personal pearls and tips for improving results. The book is thoroughly illustrated with full-color, sequential, surgeon's-eye view intraoperative photographs and drawings demonstrating difficult surgical maneuvers. Each chapter focuses on a specific procedure and covers indications, contraindications, preoperative planning, surgical technique, postoperative management, and complications. A list of recommended readings appears at the end of each chapter.

The book presents an overview of available Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) solutions to assist with adult reconstructive hip and knee procedures. The benefits of CAOS in clinical practice include improved planning, increased accuracy, intraoperative information and guidance, and the potential to enable less or minimally invasive surgery without loss of accuracy. The book reflects the current state of the art in computer integrated surgery, with the emphasis on clinically tested systems and procedures. The application of technologies such as surgical navigation and robotic surgery, medical imaging, surgical planning and simulation in total or partial hip and knee reconstruction procedures is presented. The range of currently employed approaches is covered, spanning from active robotics to navigation based medical images - either preoperative or inreoperative, and image-free navigation. The first part of the book offers the clinical rationale for the use of CAOS procedures, and describes the basic technological building blocks of such procedures and systems. The second part of the book describes specific applications in total hip replacement, total and unicompartmental knee replacement, osteotomies around the hip and knee, knee ligament reconstruction and hip and knee trauma. The clinical goal, the technological approach, and the clinical results are outlined for every application. The book is intended for practising orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, residents-in-training and medical students interested in the latest technological developments in computer assisted surgery, as well as for engineers and developers interested in learning more about the interaction of advanced technology with orthopaedic clinical practice.

Molti sono gli argomenti trattati e sviluppati: l'anatomia funzionale e biomeccanica dell'avampiede, integrazione funzionale dell'arto inferiore, rigidità, instabilità, lassità articolari, patologia ontomorfogenetica o malformativa, disontomorfogenesi o malformazioni dell'avampiede, patologia nervosa, piede paralitico, piede algodistrofico, piede di Charcot, miopatie, piede psoriasico, sindromi da conflitto osseo periastragalico, patologia ungueale ecc. Vi sono, inoltre, numerose figure oltre a numerose tavole chirurgiche interamente a colori; il tutto nell'intento di realizzare un testo atlante in cui gli specialisti in ortopedia e anche quelli in radiologia, troveranno molte risoluzioni a problemi diagnostici e terapeutici.

The forefoot surgery has been for a long time not well known or presenting many inconvenients: postoperative period painful, recurrence of the deformities. The emerging of new techniques, notably the scarf firts metatarsal osteotomy, The Weil osteotomy of the lesser metatarsal, provides a dramatic improvement of the treatment of the static forefoot disorders, the great toe osteotomy has also been greatly improved. The author has introduced these techniques from USA in France since 1991, while developing and studying the corresponding implants and the postoperative period. In the other hand, he has developed the surgical management which makes the links between these different osteotomies. About 1000 surgeons in France and around the world are using these techniques, which are always tought.
