This comprehensive atlas and text covers the diagnosis, management, and treatment of mutilating injuries of the hand. Written by an international team of orthopaedic and plastic surgeons and trauma specialists, this book addresses diagnosis, primary management in the emergency department or operating theatre, and treatment strategies and comparison of functional results using various treatment methods. Illustrative cases demonstrate treatment and reconstructive techniques in a step-by-step fashion.

Although careful patient selection, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate choice of surgical procedure improve outcomes for patients undergoing spinal surgery, not all such surgeries are successful. This unique resource offers an organized and rational approach to the radiographic and surgical management of this challenging patient group. Particular emphasis is placed on new diagnostic techniques such as gadolinium-enhanced MRI as well as more traditional modalities including myelography and CT. After outlining the selection process for patients who may benefit from additional surgery, the text proceeds to describe specific surgical options and techniques, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each. Extensive case illustrations help readers avoid the pitfalls unique to the postoperative patient. Management of postoperative complications and pain is also addressed in this title. This is a Brandon-Hill recommended title.

Clearly written, practical and well illustrated with drawings and photographs, including thermograms in the colour section, this new edition is a comprehensive clinical resource. New material has been added on differential diagnosis, causes, electrodiagnosis, feasibility of alternative therapies, and certain controversies.

Musculoskeletal diagnostic imaging is constantly developing new tools - in order to make best use of these developments and correctly interpret the resulting images you need "Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Disorders, 4th Edition". The definitive, encyclopaedic masterwork in the field is back and equips you with the unimpeachable, state-of-the-art expertise you need to confidently overcome any diagnostic dilemma. Why does this book remain 'the premier general musculoskeletal work'? - "Radiology Images" ...The meticulous approach that Dr Resnick personally takes to checking all 5,500 images is your guarantee of their quality - over 2,000 new images, 100 in colour, cover the latest technologies and approaches. Far more, MRI and ultrasound of joints...The coverage of musculoskeletal MRI now rivals any book dedicated solely to the subject and they are correlated to other modalities! More compact and easy to use...A new, streamlined organization reduces the number of volumes from 6 to 5, making reference easier, whilst still putting all of today's knowledge at your fingertips! The only book of its kind...Nothing else covers the whole range both in terms of modalities and conditions. There are up to 1000 references per chapter - probably the largest bibliography ever assembled in the field. Correlates imaging with the pathology..."The illustrations, carefully chosen to complement the text, are of high quality and emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation." - "The Journal of Rheumatology"

"Orthopedic Biomechanics" sheds light on an important and interesting discipline at the interface between medical and natural sciences. Understanding the effects of mechanical influences on the human body is the first step toward developing innovative treatment and rehabilitation concepts for orthopedic disorders. This book provides valuable information on the forces acting on muscles, tendons, and bones. Beginning with the step-by-step fundamentals of physics and mechanics, it goes on to cover the function and loading of joints, movement in two- and three-dimensions, and the properties of biological tissues. This book explains the practical importance of biomechanics, including special chapters addressing the mechanical causes of disk prolapse, load on the spine in sitting and standing positions, and the correlation between mechanical loading and bone density. Key Features include:: -Limited use of complex vector equations while providing in-depth treatment analysis -Exquisitely illustrated, detailed descriptions of the mechanical aspects of every major joint in the body: hip, shoulder, knee, and lumbar spine -Extensive references for further information -Valuable appendixes describing the interaction between mechanical and biological functions as well as mathematical tools necessary to understand technically demanding concepts This book also analyzes techniques for changing the effects on bones and joints through therapy, training, external aids, modified behavior, and ergonomic improvements. An essential resource for orthopedists and physical therapists alike, it will help you understand past and current scientific work in the field and how to apply state-of-the-art solutions to the problems you'll encounter on a daily basis.
