The second volume of Recent Advances in Orthopedic Surgery brings clinicians and trainees fully up to date with the latest advances in their field. Divided into twelve sections, each chapter discusses new technologies and techniques for surgery in a specific orthopaedic subspecialty – hip, knee, spine, shoulder, elbow – providing a broad understanding of ‘hot topics’ and detail on current points of debate. A complete chapter is dedicated to new advances in sports medicine. This new volume highlights key topics such as minimally invasive approaches to spine surgery, new developments in the basic science of cartilage, implant selection in revision arthroplasty, and surgical techniques in joint preservation. Authored by renowned experts in their specialty, led by P Maxwell Courtney from the Rothman Institute, Philadelphia, this book is further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.

Current clinical orthopedic practice requires practitioners to have extensive knowledge of a wide range of disciplines from molecular biology to bioengineering and from the application of new methods to the evaluation of outcome. The biomechanics of and biomaterials used in orthopedics have become increasingly important as the possibilities have increased to treat patients with foreign material introduced both as optimized osteosynthesis after trauma and as arthroplasties for joint diseases, sequelae of trauma or for tumor treatment. Furthermore, biomaterial substitutes are constantly being developed to replace missing tissue. Biomechanics and Biomaterials in Orthopedics provides an importan...
This book presents the most common site-specific pediatric orthopedic problems seen in clinical practice. Detailed discussions of disorders of the chest wall, neck, back, pelvic, upper- and lower limb, leg length discrepancy, abnormal gate, congenital deficiencies, bone and joint infections are included in this comprehensive resource.

Global Orthopedics: Caring for Musculoskeletal Conditions and Injuries in Austere Settings was conceived and written to be a unique reference for surgeons working in resource-limited environments. The first sections provide historical background, global public health perspectives of orthopedics, the role of culture, and a broad discussion of clinical topics that orthopedic surgeons rarely deal with in high-resource settings but that affect orthopedic care. Adult and pediatric trauma are presented in an anatomical format for easy reference, with a focus on the natural history and the best treatment methods within existing limitations. The chapters on musculoskeletal infections provide a focused discussion about these common debilitating conditions that is unavailable in any other single modern text. The non-infectious pediatric conditions section has been written for the non-specialist to handle selected developmental and early childhood orthopedic problems commonly seen in low-resource settings. Detailed chapters on reconstruction surgery, tumor management, amputations, and the orthopedic needs in the face of conflicts and natural disasters round out the text.
