Synopsis Of Hip Surgery

A reader-friendly overview of the fundamentals in hip pathology and treatment presented by esteemed experts! Synopsis of Hip Surgery by renowned hip specialists Shane Nho, Joshua Harris, Brett Levine, and an impressive group of contributors provides a well-rounded perspective on the surgical and nonsurgical management of common to rare hip conditions. The generously illustrated clinical reference is both concise and comprehensive, not only encompassing the full age continuum but also a wide array of hip disorders such as congenital and degenerative issues and problems associated with sports injuries. The first seven chapters lay a solid foundation, covering hip anatomy, patient history, physical examination, radiographic imaging, diagnostic tests, biomechanics, pathomechanics, and implant biology. Subsequent chapters detail prevalent conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, hip dysplasia, soft-tissue injuries, and osteoarthritis. The text also covers less common diseases including synovial proliferative disorders, primary and metastatic tumors, and osteonecrosis. Procedure-specific chapters focus on primary and revision total hip arthroplasty and hip replacement surgery. Key Features An outline format and bulleted text provide a quick, easy reference for trainees and practitioners to consult prior to conferences, at the office, and in the operating room Over 200 color illustrations enhance understanding of impacted anatomy and procedures Fractures of the pelvis and hip including intracapsular, extracapsular, and acetabulum Discussion of pediatric conditions including Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, and hip fractures This concise resource is essential reading for orthopaedic surgery residents, orthopaedic sports medicine and adult reconstruction fellows, general orthopaedic surgeons, and hip specialists.

The incidence of total hip arthroplasty is increasing in number because of successful outcomes. Although technically challenging, once mastered a hip replacement is one of the most gratifying surgeries for both patient and surgeon. This book covers some of the most important aspects of hip replacement surgery. These include preoperative planning, anesthesia, classification systems, management of proximal femur fractures, anterior approach, complications, and rehabilitation aspects of hip arthroplasty. The book is intended for arthroplasty surgeons, anesthetists, and physical therapists who will find the book useful in parts and as a whole if they deal with arthroplasty cases on a regular basis. Experience-based narration of various subjects by authors ensures that first-hand experience is passed on to readers in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.

I wrote this book to let people who are living with chronic hip degeneration know there is a way to rid themselves from the pain. I call it a modern-day miracle, the hip replacement. This book takes the reader through the time leading up to the decision to have the surgery. It takes you through the surgery, and shows what the surgery actually entails. There is a diary of both stays in the hospital after my hip replacements. I tell you what to expect while convalescing, what financial burdens you need to think about, and finally, there is a complete section of exercises that I used to get back into shape for a new life. If I help just one person to decide to do this surgery, and he gets his life back, then this book will have served its purpose. Sincerely, Jerry Riemer

This book comprehensively discusses both the history and the current concepts of modern hip preservation surgery. Offering an overview of the game-changing studies on the hip and pelvis vascular anatomy it thoroughly describes the evolution of a new and comprehensive pathophysiology of the hip joint degeneration. Moreover, in the first part, particular emphasis is devoted to the history and current knowledge of femoroacetabular impingement and hip dysplasia. The second part examines the main surgical procedures that have evolved and matured since the 1980s, culminating in a new class of open surgical approaches, such as hip surgical dislocation, periacetabular osteotomies, proximal femoral osteotomies and corrections, and widening the door for hip-arthroscopy. Based on over 40 years of practical and pioneering experience by the editor and 15 years of collaboration with the GICCA Study Group, this book offers a valuable resource to residents, researchers and practicing orthopedic surgeon wishing to gain insights into hip preservation surgery.

Doody Rating: 4 stars: This book opens with convenient exposures in inconvenient situations and concludes with evaluation of patients with persistent pain following complex primary hip replacements. Covers a spectrum from excision hip arthroplasty to computer assisted hip replacement and topics dealing with hip replacements in dysplastic hips, proximal femoral deformities with an overview of total hip replacement in patients with neuromuscular abnormalities. It covers surgical principles and implant selection on the topic like patients with previous fractures about the hip, severe hip dysplasia, tumors involving the hip. Each chapter provides the reader with a complete review of the pathological problems to be encountered, a rationale for preoperative planning and correction of bony and soft tissue abnormality and discussion of implant options. The author have tried to analyze difficulty in performing surgery in situations such as avascular necrosis of femoral head, fractures, failed fixations, tumors and protrusion. In addition the authors have expressed their views in tackling the challenges in osteoporotic situations, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis and infections. This book is helpful for postgraduates medical students and orthopaedic surgeons.

This book describes current and emerging techniques in hip surgery, providing the essential, up-to-date knowledge that will be required by the orthopaedic surgeon who plans to become a specialist hip surgeon. The opening chapter offers a concise overview of the surgical anatomy, with particular attention to details relevant to the surgical techniques outlined in the book. The increasingly popular anterior minimally invasive approach to the hip and a microinvasive variation of this approach are then described. Subsequent chapters present surgical approaches to developmental disorders of the hip, including dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement, and promising hip preservation techniques for avascular necrosis of the hip – an often neglected but internationally relevant disease that can mutilate the hip in young patients. Finally, the latest techniques and implants for primary and revision hip arthroplasty are discussed in depth. The international author team consists of recognized leaders in the field, many of whom have developed the described classifications and new surgical techniques.
