Andrea Celli – författare

This richly illustrated atlas is entirely devoted to the most modern surgical techniques of the elbow, offering a comprehensive, step-by-step and detailed examination of all the technical aspects of the surgical exposure of this joint. With the help of over 100 original drawings and photographs, it offers readers a unique understanding of elbow anatomy and surgical approaches, providing precise indications and surgical timing for clinical practice. An entire section focuses on the surgical management of the most common diseases of the elbow: the surgical exposures are related to pathologies affecting the lateral medial, anterior and posterior compartments of the elbow.

This atlas will be of great value both to trainees and to specialists who manage disorders of the elbow, including orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists, and sports physicians, as well as anatomists. 

In recent decades the concept of Mediterranean has been cited with increasing frequency in relation to the study of medieval literatures. And yet, in what sense would Dante’s Comedy be ‘Mediterranean’? Is it because of its Greek-Arabic and Islamic sources? Dante and the Mediterranean Comedy analyzes the ideological function of references to the sea in the study of the Comedy undertaken by Enrico Cerulli, a scholar of Somali-Ethiopian languages, and a colonial governor of ‘Italian East Africa.’ Then it presents novel lines of inquiry on the reception and appropriation of the poem, such as the presence of Islamic sources in early commentaries of the Comedy, and cross-cultural allusions to Dante’s Hell in some graffiti on the walls of the Spanish Inquisition prison in Palermo. The image of the Mediterranean that seeps through the poem and through the history of its circulation is vivid yet hardly idyllic.

Readers will discover possible causes, most current classification systems, clinical and instrumental evaluations, as well as therapeutic choices from the conservative treatment to the prosthetic implant.

Moreover, a dedicated section will be devoted to associated injuries that can complicate both the diagnosis and treatment.

Published in collaboration with ISAKOS,  this book will be of interest to orthopedists, sports physicians and physiotherapists wishing to deepen their knowledge in the complex field of upper limb functionality.
