In 2%-7% of all bone fractures, union is delayed or fails. Nonunions of the bones represent a challenge for orthopedic surgeons and can have a severe psychological impact on these patients. Moreover, the social cost of managing these lesions, often requiring multiple procedures, may be very high, and complications related to improper treatment are not rare. This text is based on the development over many years of the devices and operative techniques of monofocal, bifocal, and multifocal compression-distraction osteosynthesis, in cooperation with the CITO Institute of Moscow and the LNIITO...

L'intervento di artroprotesi d'anca, che si esegue ormai dagli anni '60, vive una grande evoluzione soprattutto dopo l'introduzione di nuovi disegni protesici e la sperimentazione di nuovi materiali. Un costante aggiornamento si rende quindi necessario. Quello previsto in questo corso, grazie al contributo di illustri collaboratori, esamina in dettaglio i principali aspetti, anche quelli piu innovativi, relativi alla sostituzione protesica dell'anca. Ampio spazio e stato dedicato ai risultati di grandi casistiche, relative sia a modelli protesici di tipo tradizionale che ai modelli piu...

The scope and importance of hip fractures is almost incomprehensible. With a world wide incidence of close to 2 million cases per year, these fractures pose a daunting challenge to our ability to affect and treat this epidemic.

Basics for operative treatment of proximal and distal femur fractures: Clear surgical indication, short planning and preparation

In comprehensive form the book presents the usage of a meanwhile well installed implant (DMS) for osteosynthesis technique in the peritrochanteric region. The "double dynamic" stabilization (sliding tongue principle and angle adapted...

The third volume of the "Practice of Intramedullary Locked Nails" places a special focus on recent advancements in understanding the biology of fracture healing of long bones, the emerging technologies that further enhance the minimally invasive nature of closed treatment of fractures, and the availability of various surgical techniques in intramedullary fixation. The application of new technology in prevention of infection and application of the intramedullary fixation of fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients are also described. The contributors to this volume are from different...

The author of this multimedia work sets himself an ambitious goal: to allow a surgeon to achieve the revision of a prosthesis without too many difficulties (or too much apprehension ) with guaranteed results if he follows the proposed method step by step, and this, even if he is not very experienced in this discipline.To fulfil this purpose, the author provides a clear definition of the press-fit concept (principles and practical applications) and from there, he offers a logical and rigorous method for, first of all, planning the surgery, and then, performing it.The written text is also...

Joint replacement is a logical step in the treatment of severe joint pathologies with irreversible lesions resisting conservative therapy. At the spinal level, arthrodesis became, very early, the gold standard of treatment for severe intervertebral disc pathologies. The next logical step was to envision functional replacement, and this step was taken as early as 1956, when the first intervertebral implant was described. However, it took many more years and a great variety of proposed implant designs before clinical applications could be attempted.
