Practical Orthopaedic Sports Medicine And Arthroscopy

Written by noted experts in orthopaedic sports medicine, this book is a comprehensive, practical guide to diagnosis and treatment of sports-related injuries. It covers all the material required for the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery's new Subspecialty Certificate in Sports Medicine examination. Emphasis is on detailed, step-by-step descriptions of surgical techniques for treating sports-related injuries, including the latest arthroscopic procedures. These techniques are illustrated with over 800 full-color original drawings and photographs. The authors describe their preferred methods for treating each injury. Bulleted key points appear at the beginning of each chapter.

Aim of this book is to give an update on the main issues in sports traumatology and orthopedics, involving different body sections. Exploring the most important aspects of sports medicine - from anatomy to normal movements description, from diagnosis to sports injuries treatment, from conservative to surgical treatments - it gives a global overview of the field, describing also diagnostic tools recently introduced in this field, such as hip arthroscopy, and taking into consideration related areas like nutrition, prevention, training and rehabilitation. The single chapters deal with relevant problems such as emergencies on the field, pathologies of the upper and lower extremity, spine problems in athletes. Each injury is approached on the basis of both the specific body area and of the different sports/activities. Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, this volume will be a fundamental book for orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, general practitioners, personal and athletic trainers, offering them a useful tool for the management of most frequent injuries in sports medicine.

In recent years, there have been a number of exciting advances in biologic and nanoarthroscopic approaches in sports medicine, giving the clinician even more options for safe and effective minimally invasive treatments for the active patient. This practical text presents these breakthrough techniques in detail and describes the authors' experiences and lessons learned. This book is broken into two main sections. The first section presents the history of the use of biologics in sports medicine and will have several chapters describing novel techniques using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate (BMC), all-inside allograft ACL reconstruction, minimally invasive quad tendon harvest with endoscopic closure, and cartilage transfer (ACT) using an autologous tissue collector, among others. The second section describes the history of arthroscopy and the most recent use of nanoarthroscopy, including several novel techniques utilizing the nanoscope, such as incisionless partial medial meniscectomy, synovectomy of the knee, and single incision approaches for the anterior labrum and rotator cuff. Practical and cutting edge, Biologic and Nanoarthroscopic Approaches in Sports Medicine is an exciting exploration of the most recent management approaches for both sports medicine and orthopedic surgeons.

Access even more expert content in new "Author’s Preferred Technique" sections. Find the information you need more quickly with this completely reorganized text.

This book is designed to meet the needs of both novice and senior researchers in Orthopaedics by providing the essential, clinically relevant knowledge on research methodology that is sometimes overlooked during training. Readers will find a wealth of easy-to-understand information on all relevant aspects, from protocol design, the fundamentals of statistics, and the use of computer-based tools through to the performance of clinical studies with different levels of evidence, multicenter studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and economic health care studies. A key feature is a series of typical case examples that will facilitate use of the volume as a handbook for most common research approaches and study types. Younger researchers will also appreciate the guidance on preparation of abstracts, poster and paper presentations, grant applications, and publications. The authors are internationally renowned orthopaedic surgeons with extensive research experience and the book is published in collaboration with ISAKOS.

With increasing numbers of people taking part in regular, organised sporting activity, and the technological advances which are constantly pushing back the frontiers of individual sporting achievement, and testing the human body to its limits, the science of sports medicine has flourished in recent years. Sports Medicine: Problems and Practical Management draws on the vast experience of its editors and authors to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to the diagnosis and management of the full range of sport injuries which might be encountered. Whilst focusing primarily on the practical aspects of clinical diagnosis and treatment (the guidelines provided throughout represent the standards of care which have been developed for the treatment of athletes in the year 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia), the scientific underpinnings of the specialty, which form an essential part of the knowledge base of the modern sports medicine practitioner, are also covered in detail. Uniquely, the book also places physical exercise in an environmental context. Profusely illustrated throughout, this book will prove invaluable not only to specialists in sports medicine, but also to the general orthopaedic surgeon and physician, as well as the general practitioner or physiotherapist.

This book provides arthroscopy techniques and applications to clinical practitioners, including sports medicine therapeutics, orthopaedic surgeons, specialist training candidates, rehabilitation clinicians. It also includes small incisions per minimally invasive surgery using a camera mounted on a thin tube to visualize, repair and reconstruct joint-associated structures. Arthroscopy technique as a minimally invasive surgical method, in Orthopeadics is not only for the treatment of intra-articular diseases but also an advanced conception for treatment of extra-articular diseases and peri-articular fractures. After performing years of arthroscopy, authors intend to provide an elite technique demonstration of each procedure, including indications, technique, complications, and results. There are three main parts of the book, including the extra-articular application of arthroscopy techniques, arthroscopic minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of intra-articular fractures, and Innovative technology for repair and reconstruction of bone and joint injuries. Key technical points and experience of arthroscopic repair of joint injuries, dislocation of joints, fixation of the intra-articular fractures, ligament release for limbs are illustrated. Special situations such as congenital torticollis, deltoid contracture, gluteal muscle contracture, bone grafting, removal of locking plate and screw and benign tumors treatment are also included.

This book aims to provide orthopedic surgeons with all the information that they will require in order to set up and run a motor skills course that will meet the needs of junior staff in Orthopedic Sports Medicine and help in training better surgeons for the future. The coverage is wide-ranging, from the fundamentals of what it takes to be a sports surgeon through to validation methods that measure teaching effectiveness and the certification of surgical skills at the end of the course. Clear guidance is provided on how to teach concepts of surgical skill and the strategy and practical details of designing a training program, with inclusion of a helpful checklist of do’s and don’ts. Different basic training modalities are described, with a particular focus on the FAST system adopted by the Arthroscopy Association of North America, and the role of simulators in surgical skills training is discussed. The book has been produced in cooperation with ISAKOS and the authors are leading professionals from around the world who offer a truly global and multidisciplinary perspective on the subject.
