Introduction to Surgical Trials
Filling a gap in literature, this book examines surgical trials with a special focus on the underlying principles, challenges, and best practices to successfully conduct rigorous surgical research. While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the gold standard for evaluation of the safety and efficacy of most medical interventions, they are particularly difficult to implement successfully in the context of surgery. As a result, recruitment rates are often extremely low, crossover from non-operative to operative is common, and patients randomly allocated to surgery often simply decline to have the procedure. All of these challenges call into question the recent generalizability and fundamental quality of traditional surgical RCTs. As such, this book explores advanced alternative trial design methods and describes the current regulatory environment around the world. Designed as a practical guide, it is a valuable tool for surgeons, epidemiologist and biostatisticians involved in this challenging field.
Lateral Ankle Instability
This superbly illustrated, up-to-date reference textbook covers all aspects of ankle instability and its management. Readers will find extensive information on biomechanics, injury prevention, current strategies for conservative treatment, and established and emerging surgical techniques. The most recent procedures, particularly those which are minimally invasive and arthroscopically assisted, are described and discussed in depth. Detailed attention is also devoted to controversies such as the indications and timing for conservative or surgical treatment, the current and future roles of arthroscopy, the definition of “anatomic” repair, and the upcoming concept of “anatomic reconstruction” (replication of anatomy by using a graft). The book is published in cooperation with ESSKA, and the chapter authors include clinicians and scientists working in the field of foot and ankle orthopaedics and sports medicine from across the world. All who are involved in the care of patients suffering from ankle instability, including amateur and high-level athletes, will find Lateral Ankle Instability to be an excellent source of knowledge and a valuable aid to clinical practice.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries Throughout the Life Span
This book uniquely addresses anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury – one of the leading issues in orthopedic sports medicine – throughout the lifespan, with a focus on differences depending on age and activity levels. It provides readers with fundamental knowledge, such as anatomy histology and biomechanics, as well as with diagnostic criteria specific for each age group and activity level – from pediatrics through adolescents to adults and high-level athletes. Furthermore, international experts present diverse prevention and injury management criteria as well as state-of-the-art surgical techniques based on the expectations of each age and lifestyle group. Designed to be an easy-to-read reference guide, this book presents fundamental concepts in the management of ACL injuries. It appeals to a broad readership ranging from orthopedic surgeons, residents and sports physicians to athletic trainers and all professionals involved in rehabilitation following ACL injuries.
Textbook of Musculoskeletal Disorders
This textbook presents the full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders, covering their definitions, epidemiology, physiopathology, diagnosis and treatment. Ranging from fractures, through infections and tumors, to dystrophies, the authors provide an up-to-date overview of the methodologies used in the diagnosis and management of common orthopedic conditions. The content is divided into several sections: disorders are grouped by typology in the opening section, and subsequently grouped anatomically, offering readers a quick and convenient reference guide to fundamental concepts in everyday orthopedic care. Written by an international panel of experts, it offers a valuable asset for students and residents approaching the study of orthopedics, pediatric orthopedics, sports medicine, rheumatology and rehabilitation. It further can be of interest also for practicing orthopedic surgeons, as well as nurses, physical therapists and athletic trainers.
Knee Arthroscopy and Knee Preservation Surgery
This major reference works brings together the current state of the art for joint preservation surgery of the knee, including arthroscopic and open procedures. Generously illustrated with radiographs and intraoperative photos, it presents the latest tips and techniques, providing the knee surgeon with the most up-to-date information for precise preparation and decision-making in this rapidly evolving area. This comprehensive guide is divided into ten thematic sections covering clinical evaluation; fundamentals of arthroscopic and open approaches; basic and advanced arthroscopic procedures; surgical management of meniscal disorders; management of ACL injuries; approaches to complex and multi-ligamentous injuries; limb malalignment; management of cartilage and subchondral bone; patellofemoral and extensor mechanism disorders; and rehabilitation and return to play considerations. Written by experts in the field, Knee Arthroscopy and Knee Preservation Surgery will be a highly valued resource for orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons, residents and fellows.
The Peroneal Tendons
This unique book is a practical, “go to” source of comprehensive information on the care of peroneal tendon injuries, accurately illustrating this hot topic with many anatomical drawings of how the anatomy influences the diseases we see clinically. This presentation opens with a review of the normal anatomy, biomechanics and examination of the peroneal tendons, followed by a discussion of congenital variations and imaging strategies used in diagnosis and evaluation. Both conservative and surgical management techniques are then elucidated in injury-specific chapters, from peroneus brevis splits and stenosing tenosynovitis to painful os peroneum syndrome (POPS) and acute dislocation. Chapters on rehabilitation and comorbid pathologies round out the presentation. The diagnosis of peroneal tendon injury is much more common today than it was 20 years ago. Utilizing the latest evidence and presenting the most cutting-edge management techniques, The Peroneal Tendons will be useful for orthopedic and podiatric surgeons, sports medicine specialists, and students and residents in these areas.
