New topics in this edition include meniscus repair with implantable devices, arthroscopic knot tying, and arthroscopy in athletes. Hundreds of full-color arthroscopic views, surgical exposures, and line drawings guide surgeons in technique and clinical decision-making. This edition includes a free DVD of surgical procedures, with over 200 minutes of video to demonstrate key points and techniques.
Recent advances in biometrics include new developments in sensors, modalities and algorithms. As new sensors are designed, newer challenges emerge in the algorithms for accurate recognition. Written for researchers, advanced students and practitioners to use as a handbook, this volume captures the very latest state-of-the-art research contributions from leading international researchers. It offers coverage of the entire gamut of topics in the field, including sensors, data acquisition, pattern-matching algorithms, and issues that impact at the system level, such as standards, security, networks, and databases
This book explores the numerous recent advances in arthroscopic and endoscopic surgery of the smaller joints of the upper extremity – elbow, wrist, and hand. Providing readers with all necessary information, i.e. relevant surgical anatomy and a clear description of technical steps, it uniquely and comprehensively presents arthroscopic and endoscopic techniques of small joints in one publication. The procedures are subdivided according to the pathology (instability, fractures, etc.) or grouped by the region within the anatomical area and include the relevant anatomy, extensive cadaveric dissections, devices and instrumentation, surgical procedures, pearls and pitfalls. High-quality colour illustrations further simplify and complement the description of surgical techniques. Written by pioneers of these techniques, the book is designed to be an up-to-date reference resource for both new and advanced orthopaedic surgeons wanting to become familiar with these techniques.
