An expert reference on the management of adult spinal deformities

In this fourth volume of the AOSpine Masters Series experts from around the world share their strategies for managing the most common adult spinal deformities. This book gives clinicians the guidance they need to make the right treatment decisions and provide the best care for their patients. Chapter topics include osteotomies for rigid spinal deformities, postoperative coronal decompensation in adult deformity, and biomechanics and material science for deformity correction.

Key Features:

The issues of patient selection, outcomes, and complications along with all the essential preoperative and intraoperative factors are discussed in detail in every chapterEditors are internationally recognized authorities on the management of adult spinal deformitiesEach chapter includes expert tips and pearls

The AOSpine Masters Series, a co-publication of Thieme and AOSpine, a Clinical Division of the AO Foundation, addresses current clinical issues whereby international masters of spine share their expertise and recommendations on a particular topic. The goal of the series is to contribute to an evolving, dynamic model of an evidence-based medicine approach to spine care.

All spine surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, and neurosurgeons, along with residents and fellows in these areas, will find this book to be an excellent reference that they will consult often.

This practical, user-friendly guide is designed for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons with an interest in pediatric spinal deformity. While multiple definitive, high-density textbooks exist in this field, this book is formatted as a concise, tactical resource.Chapters emphasize tangible clinical take-home points, with deeper references provided for further exploration. The text assumes a working knowledge of spine surgery fundamentals and serves as a practical guide to treating children with spinal pathologies. It highlights unique considerations in pediatric spine surgery, technical nuances, pathology, technology and systems-based care. Chapters are primarily bulleted to deliver quick, high-yield information on preoperative, operative and postoperative considerations, as well as potential complications—supported by ample radiography and intraoperative photographs.The book concludes with a Masters' Series, in which leading experts provide step-by-step explanations of their approaches to both typical and complex cases.

The ultimate guide and surgical manual for managing patients with rigid spinal deformitiesDespite attempts to detect and treat spine deformities early in younger and older populations, spine deformity surgeons encounter a wide array of complex spine pathologies in patients across the age and pathology continuum. Corrective Osteotomies of Rigid Spinal Deformities, edited by world-renowned spinal deformity specialists Leon Kaplan and Lawrence G. Lenke, features contributions from an impressive group of global experts. The superbly written compendium highlights inherent challenges of managing rigid spine deformities and provides a wide array of safe and optimal treatment solutions.Thirty-four chapters encompass surgical and nonsurgical management strategies for congenital, neuromuscular, syndrome-associated, infection, and neoplasm-related rigid spinal deformities. Special topics include secondary correction, pitfalls and difficulties, revision surgeries, and surgical and trauma-related neurological complications. New technologies are covered, including computer-assisted robotic surgery, evaluation and treatment of spinal tuberculosis in adults and children, and biological aspects that enhance spinal fusion. Throughout the text, the authors share firsthand pearls gained over many decades of delivering surgical care.Key Highlights The rational, decision-making, meticulous planning, surgical strategies, and outcomes presented for each type of spinal deformity reflect the authors' extensive clinical and surgical experienceStep-by-step methodology for treating rigid spinal deformities, including anterior, posterior, and combined approachesAnesthesiological aspects of spine correction in different stages of surgery and the importance of spinal neuromonitoringReader-friendly algorithms, full color photographs, and radiographic images enhance the understanding of underlying pathologies and treatment strategiesThis is an indispensable diagnostic and surgical manual for advanced spine surgeons who specialize in correcting rigid spinal deformities in pediatric and adult patients. Spine surgery residents and fellows will also benefit from reading this comprehensive resource.
