Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Disorders

The definitive, encyclopedic source on musculoskeletal radiology is back ... thoroughly updated to incorporate all of the latest knowledge, technology, and techniques! Together with more than 35 other international experts, Donald Resnick, M.D. -- one of the world's foremost authorities on this subject -- comprehensively covers every relevant imaging modality as well as every possible disease state that is manifested in the bones and joints of children and adults. This new edition delivers a completely rewritten chapter on internal derangements of joints * a brand-new chapter on spinal interventional procedures * greatly expanded material on MR imaging and on ultrasound of joints * more than 2,000 completely new illustrations * and a new, streamlined organization that reduces the total number of volumes from six to five, making reference easier.

Balloon Kyphoplasty

Osteoporosis is one of the ten most important diseases worldwide and its importance will rise further f- lowing the aging of the population. Vertebral fractures are the most common fractures in osteoporosis and have signi?cant impact on quality of life and survival rates, as well as carrying increased socioeconomic costs. The establishment of minimally invasive treatment schemes in recent years has led to reduced peri- erative morbidity and increased early mobilization. This book focuses on balloon kyphoplasty and alter- tive minimally invasive treatments for stabilization of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The optimal treatment of a patient with osteoporotic vertebral fractures requires an interdisciplinary - proach, and therefore our book draws on the expertise of orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists and neu- surgeons, and also includes a chapter on medical treatment. We are happy to present the ?rst English edition of this book. All chapters have been extensively revised and updated. In addition to a detailed description of the technique of balloon kyphoplasty, with practical tips from experts, the book retains a chapter on the medical treatment of osteoporosis, which is still ind- pensable in the interdisciplinary approach to osteoporosis. This well established concept, uniting several treatment aspects including conservative treatment, is preserved in this book. However, new chapters have been added as the result of recent developments and clinical ?ndings.
