Osteoarthritis (OA) is perhaps one of the oldest and most common diseases in the world. It is the most common cause of knee pain and a leading cause of disability globally. The incidence of OA is likely to rise exponentially in the coming times due to an increasingly aging population and other factors like Obesity, Vitamin D deficiency and injuries of the knee joint. It is of paramount importance to understand its pathophysiology and identify the risk factors of OA, to find the optimal preventive and therapeutic solutions for it. This book on Knee OA aims at providing an up to date knowledge about the Knee OA, starting from its definition, etiology, diagnosis and management strategies. Contributors from various institutes have shared their experience and knowledge thereby providing a comprehensive up-to-date information on their respective topics. The monograph can be a useful reference source on Knee OA for the patients, clinicians, and researchers.
This text and atlas is a complete guide to the latest advances in orthopaedic surgical procedures. Divided into ten sections, the book begins with paediatric orthopaedics and congenital conditions. The following chapters cover surgical techniques for disorders in different parts of the musculoskeletal system. The final sections examine bone tumours and plastic surgery. The comprehensive text includes discussion on new orthopaedic procedures for conditions that were previously considered to be inoperable such as congenital pseudarthrosis, shortening of lower limbs, ankylosed hip or knee, and gross deformities of the spine. The book is highly illustrated with more than 3000 clinical and surgical photographs, diagrams and tables. Key points Complete guide to latest advances in orthopaedic surgical procedures Covers surgical techniques for disorders in all sections of the musculoskeletal system Includes discussion on new procedures for conditions previously considered inoperable Highly illustrated with more than 3000 photographs, diagrams and tables
Winner, 2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Bronze Winner, 2024 Nonfiction Book Awards Where would we be without the knee? This down-to-earth joint connecting the thigh and the lower leg doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. Yet, as The Curious Human Knee reveals, it is crucial to countless facets of science, medicine, culture, and history—and even what makes us human. The science writer Han Yu provides an informative, surprising, and entertaining exploration of the human knee across time and place. She begins with our earliest ancestors, emphasizing that walking upright separates us from the apes and bipedal knees appeared long before big brains and sophisticated tools. Yu consi...
This book employs a wealth of high-quality illustrations to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of the anatomy and the histology of the cartilage, the etiology and the classification of the cartilage lesions, and the numerous techniques employed for cartilage repair. Detailed attention is devoted to healthy cartilage, to each stage in the degenerative process, and to the response of the cartilage to the treatment. Imaging of the damaged and the repaired cartilage, as well as the information on the biomechanics are provided in great detail. The chapters on the techniques cover a wide range of approaches: marrow stimulation techniques, osteochondral cylinder transfer techniques, f...
Patellofemoral instability (PFI) is the movement of the kneecap from its normal position of alignment. It may be caused by sudden injury or developmental wear and tear and will often lead to arthritis. This book is a concise guide to misalignment of the kneecap, its complications and management. Beginning with an introduction to the epidemiology of patellar dislocation, anterior knee pain and patho-anatomy, the next chapter examines imaging techniques including X-Rays, CT, MRI and bone scan. The following sections provide in depth coverage of both conservative and surgical management procedures. The manual is enhanced by clinical photographs and high quality diagrams to assist understanding. Key Points Concise guide to misalignment of the kneecap, complications and treatment Provides complete chapter on imaging techniques Covers both conservative and surgical management procedures Includes clinical photographs and high quality diagrams

The contributed volume assimilates the knowledge, experience, and exciting aspects of soil carbon research in the Indian Himalayan region. It includes different aspects and factors associated with soil carbon sequestration in the region, one of the biodiversity hot spots and highly vulnerable to climatic change impacts. Information on different aspects of soil organic carbon dynamics concerning adaptive land management practices and anthropogenic impacts is covered. Further topics include applying advanced tools and techniques to soil carbon vis-a-vis soil erosion research. This book is of interest to researchers and policymakers involved in soil carbon research and offer ideas to enhance the soil carbon in the region concerned. In addition, the book will provide up-to-date information for researchers interested in soil carbon research for the maintenance of soil quality and fertility in the climate-vulnerable Indian Himalayan region.
The Delhi Jantar Mantar is an enigma. Its huge and arresting forms evoke awe even today when architecture seems to consist primarily of strange shapes and proportions. Most people who see it are left with many questions. • What is it really? • Why is it called Jantar Mantar? Is it linked to the performance of some mystical religious rites? • How were its gigantic structures made? • Do they form part of a maze? Are they forerunners of abstract art installations? • Or are they buildings? If so, what is this strange architectural style, so different from the other buildings of its time? • How, if at all, is it linked to astronomy? This informative history and fi eld guide explains a...
