The idea of this book is very simple. Nowadays, there are many good, very comprehensive, “thick” books available on Elbow Surgery. Although they are useful to obtain discrete information about specific topics, they are too large to be a user friendly for a general orthopedic surgeon facing common elbow problems. The increasing interest among young surgeons on elbow problems is remarkable. It has been our experience throughout the years, teaching our residents and visitors, that there is a real demand for a less extensive book, easy to read, and with practical information about the most commonly encountered problems of the elbow. This text would be enough to understand the common elbow practice for a general orthopedic surgeon and a guide to learn basic elbow surgery during training. There is nothing like this available today. It will be strongly oriented to practice, and all the authors, well known internationally for their expertise on elbow surgery, will be homogeneous in their message.
Arthroplasty of the upper extremity is an established surgical intervention in the management of arthritis of the elbow, wrist and hand. The anatomy, kinematics and demands of the elbow, wrist, thumb CMC, and finger MCP and PIP joints pose unique surgical challenges. Implant design considerations are important in providing a joint that mimics the native joints and maximizes survivorship. However, outcomes are less predictable in these upper extremity joints when compared to the hips and knees. Each joint also carries its own set of potential complications and salvage options for revision and failed arthroplasty. This unique text helps the orthopedic and hand surgeon understand the surgical a...

De elleboog verbindt de bovenarm met de onderarm. Buiging van de arm zorgt ervoor dat we de hand in de richting van het hoofd en de schouder kunnen bewegen. Activiteiten als eten, haren kammen,tanden poetsen en dergelijke zouden onmogelijk zijn zonder de scharnierfunctie van de elleboog. Dit boek behandelt de meest voorkomende vormen van pathologie van elleboog en onderarm. Er wordt onder andere aandacht besteed aan de tennis- en golferselleboog, bursitis, het compartimentsyndroom, myositis ossifi cans, elleboogprothesen, zenuwcompressie, de bicepspeesruptuur, de radiuskopfractuur, osteochondrosis dissecans en de werperselleboog. Zoals gebruikelijk in de boekenreeks van Orthopedische Casuïstiek wordt ieder onderwerp besproken aan de hand van patiëntencasuïstiek uit de dagelijkse praktijk. Recente wetenschappelijke inzichten komen aan bod in addenda die volgen op de patiëntencasus. De tekst is rijk geïllustreerd met educatieve tekeningen en fotos. De bijlagen achterin het boek tonen allerlei handige overzichten van onder andere het functieonderzoek van de elleboog, toegevoegde tests, de innervatie van de arm en concrete oefeningen.
