AO-Publishing - Böcker

Online access to narrated intraoperative videos and animations included!In the last quarter century, no one has played a stronger role in hand and wrist fracture management, especially using AO principles, than Jesse Jupiter. This long awaited book is the culmination of his work, along with other pioneers in the field, and presents all key developments in biomechanics, design, materials, and state-of-the-art AO techniques.Organized in a case-based format, the book focuses on fractures of the hand, scaphoid, and distal radius (including soft-tissue injuries). For each case, you'll review patient history, planning, approach, reduction, fixation, and rehabilitation, along with hundreds of full-color illustrations, intraoperative pictures, and x-rays. Online access to videos demonstrating step-by-step intraoperative procedures is included with the book. Along with detailed surgical techniques, you'll also find a wealth of guidelines on indications, choice of surgical approach, preoperative planning, and postoperative management. This is a book no orthopedic surgeon should be without.

This textbook offers a comprehensive view of all aspects of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). The second expanded edition includes the expert knowledge of AO surgeons from all around the world. It not only provides basic concepts and the latest clinical and basic scientific research, but guides the interested surgeon through the crucial steps of MIPO application in the different anatomical regions.Enhanced by clear photographs, x-rays, MRls, CT scans, and detailed illustrations, the book comprises two sections: Section 1, Principles, covers the principles of MIPO surgery as well as education in MIPO.Section 2, Cases, encompasses all anatomical regions. For each region there is a comprehensive introduction covering general aspects of MIPO techniques regarding indications, preoperative planning, and positioning, before indirect and direct reduction and fixation techniques are presented. Case examples then allow the reader to follow each procedure in a thorough, step-by-step manner. Additional chapters on pediatric and fragility fractures, special indications, and implant removal conclude this second section.The main concept behind the MIPO technique is to deal with soft tissue and bone in a way that does not add additional trauma to the fracture site. The bone must be accessed through soft-tissue windows away from the fracture site. Direct reduction maneuvers, if needed, should be executed to leave only small footprints at the fracture area and reduce disturbance of fracture healing.Hear the authors discuss Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis.

Based on the successful format of AO courses, this two-volume reference is a comprehensive manual for the latest AO spine techniques. For each case, the book guides the reader from case presentation, through rationale for surgical treatment, and to non-operative treatment options. The authors describe potential complications in spine surgery and outcomes.Volume I, Principles and Techniques, begins with a complete review of basic science concepts, helping the reader understand the biomechanics, biology, and the surgical anatomy of the spine. This volume provides a systematic overview of spinal instrumentation, computer-assisted surgery, and anesthesia considerations.Volume II, Clinical Applications, presents a compilation of clinical cases addressing the most common spinal problems, such as spinal trauma, tumors, infections, inflammatory processes, deformities, degenerative spinal diseases, and metabolic bone disease.Throughout both volumes, high-quality photographs and drawings illustrate surgical techniques step-by-step and demonstrate key concepts of management. Clear, easy-to-reference bulleted lists and shaded text boxes facilitate rapid review of important learning points. An accompanying DVD-ROM with video clips from live surgery symposia and practical exercises also enhance the reader's learning experience.

Osteotomies in the treatment of degenerative and posttraumatic arthritis seem to be a lost art. Even for young patients joint replacement is in vogue.An international group of renowned surgeons present an outstanding hands-on approach to perform correction osteotomies in posttraumatic deformities from the clavicle to the foot.Most of the content is based on case presentations and each case provides step-by-step description of case history, planning, surgical approach, osteotomy, fixation, rehabilitation, and finally pitfalls and pearls. Hundreds of full-color pictures, precise illustrations, and x-rays demonstrate the significant steps in deformity corrections. Long-term follow-ups demonstrate the efficacy of osteotomies in the treatment of malunions.In the principle part preceding the case presentations relevant theoretical information on posttraumatic deformities and osteotomies, operative techniques, and fixation methods, as well as the formation of a surgical plan is provided. Overall the book features over 110 detailed case presentations.This book should convince surgeons to use osteotomies in the treatment of posttraumatic deformities and consider joint-preserving techniques in the treatment of posttraumatic osteoarthritis.

Comprehensive case-based approach to elbow and forearm fracture managementEdited by the premier surgeon on problems of the upper extremity, Elbow and Forearm is a concise yet comprehensive step-by-step guide to managing a wide range of fracture patterns, both simple and complex. All content is based on actual clinical cases featuring numerous highly instructive radiographs, color photos and illustrations. Distinguished by its accessible, easy-to-read format, this book skillfully covers in detail everything from functional anatomy, indications, fracture patterns and surgical exposures to contemporary implants and postoperative management.Features: Clinical insights from experts in the field Consistent presentation of each case for ease of use Pearls and pitfalls for every procedure Valuable information on the methods of essential early physical therapy Coverage of reconstructive problems such as nonunion, malunion, instability, bone loss, and infection Discussion of the latest technology, including angular stable locking platesHandy as a rapid reference for trauma surgeons, hand and upper limb surgeons and residents in training, this book offers solid support in decision-making and puts information on reliable and tested techniques instantly at the surgeon's fingertips.

Lavishly illustrated, succinct coverage of the latest advances in operative fracture careReflecting the recent dramatic advances in orthopedic trauma care and orthopedic implants, this highly practical surgical guide provides step-by-step descriptions of new, state-of-the-art techniques as well as in-depth information on classic, time-tested methods. Packed with hundreds of the high-quality, full-color illustrations for which AO books are known, the expert authors of this must-have text discuss operating room principles for different aspects of OR management for ORP (orthotic rehabilitation products) and AO principles of fracture management, and give advice on how to perform common procedures, with an emphasis on the use of surgical instruments. Features: Comprehensive discussion of relative stability, biological fixation, minimally invasive techniques, the correct use of locking head screws and the locking compression plate, and more Concise chapters designed to aid ORP and junior residents as they assist during surgery Full-color illustrations complement thorough descriptions of each step of the proceduresAO Techniques and Principles for the Operating Room is an invaluable tool for operating room staff and all residents starting their careers in orthopedic trauma care.
