Femoral neck fractures occur primarily in the elderly population, and nowadays arthroplasty is chosen most frequently as a treatment solution. This illustrated atlas provides a comprehensive monograph of femoral neck fractures. It has more than 800 representative figures, x-rays and drawings, and describes in detail non-invasive internal fixation. 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 can be remarkably diminished by urgent surgery, based on selective indication criteria.
This book adopts the principle of guiding surgery by anatomy, fixation by biomechanics, and clinical procedures by functional recovery. In each chapter, the applied anatomy of the fracture site is first introduced, which confers prominence to the relationship between the anatomical structure and surgery and emphasizes the structure that must be protected and repaired during surgery. In addition, the biomechanical characteristics of the fracture site are described, so that the appropriate fixation method can be selected according to the characteristics of the mechanical environment. In most chapters on periarticular fractures, the book also describes in detail how the joints fulfil their func...

Der Autor, selbst bedeutender Handchirurg und Wegbereiter der Handchirurgie in Deutschland, konnte aufgrund seiner zahlreichen Kontakte und freundschaftlichen Verbindungen diese außergewöhnlichen Biographien für dieses Buch erstellen. Es ist ihm gelungen, auch jeweils Portraitfotos zu bekommen, die in diesem Band mit aufgenommen wurden. Mit dieser Sammlung liegt ein medizinhistorisch interessantes und beachtenswertes Werk vor.
This guidebook introduces the reader to the visible memorabilia of science and scientists in Budapest - statues, busts, plaques, buildings, and other artefacts. According to the Hungarian-American Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, this metropolis at the crossroads of Europe has a special atmosphere of respect for science. It has been the venue of numerous scientific achievements and the cradle, literally, of many individuals who in Hungary, and even more beyond its borders, became world-renowned contributors to science and culture. Six of the eight chapters of the book cover the Hungarian Nobel laureates, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the university, the medical school, agricultural ...
Told that she must not have children Julia stubbornly ignores all advice and risks her life to have a son, Tommy. In the following years and decades both mother and son are forced by circumstances to draw upon their determination, courage, wit and self-preservation to survive. Tragedy and death, personal and emotional loss, the horrors he witnessed in the war make Tommy an adult by the age of 10 and shape Tommy's character. He risks his life in 1956 and escapes from Communism that has risen from the ashes of Fascism. Working hard in a new country he must deal with different obstacles. From Budapest in the 'twenties, to London in the 'nineties, this is a family saga of three generations, ravaged by two wars and adverse circumstances. Ultimately, the story proves that there is always hope, even against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, provided one has courage, resilience, and mental stamina.
Schenkelhalsfrakturen treten verstärkt bei älteren Menschen auf. Der kostenintensive Ersatz des Hüftgelenks ist dabei meistens die Therapie der ersten Wahl. Die nicht-invasive Therapie der Osteosynthese ist eine kostengünstigere Alternative, die zudem auch zur schnelleren Rehabiliation der Patienten führt. In diesem Bildatlas werden anatomische Grundlagen, epidemiologische Daten, biomechanische und diagnostische Merkmale sowie therapeutische Möglichkeiten für jeden Unfallchirurgen, Orthopäden nachvollziehbar und umfassend dargestellt. Eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Beschreibung der minimalinvasiven Osteosynthese, sowie zahlreiche anatomische und technische Details lassen diese Methode als zeitgemäße kostensparende Therapie in einem neuen Licht erscheinen. Umgang mit Komplikationen sowie Nachbehandlung und Rehabilitation werden ebenso behandelt. Mit mehr als 50 Jahren Erfahrung in der Osteosynthese von Schenkelhalsfrakturen liefert die Arbeitsgruppe um Prof. Manninger hiermit einen umfassenden Atlas.
