Les progrès en arthroscopie ont été fulgurants ces dernières années, en particulier en arthroscopie d'épaule, de hanche, du poignet et de cheville. Ainsi, de nombreuses pathologies ont été totalement revisitées par l'apport de cette technique. Aucune articulation et peu d'espaces de glissement résistent encore à l'arthroscope, ce qui permet de remplacer les gestes conventionnels par des chirurgies moins agressives. Les douleurs postopératoires sont réduites, facilitant une prise en charge en ambulatoire et le retour rapide à domicile. Cet ouvrage, constitué de 135 chapitres issus de la collaboration et de l'expérience de plus de 240 auteurs de la Société Française d'Arthroscopie, présente un recueil complet et illustré des pathologies à prise en charge arthroscopique avec, pour chacune, la description de la physiopathologie, du diagnostic, du traitement, des indications et des résultats. Tous les domaines d'application de l'arthroscopie sont abordés, en insistant sur les techniques de base, la réalisation des noeuds, l'utilisation des ancres. Sont ensuite décrites les prises en charge des pathologies synoviales et cartilagineuses. Toutes les pathologies articulaires sont passées en revue, qu'elles concernent l'épaule, le coude, le poignet, la main, la hanche, le genou, la cheville ou le pied. Une incursion est par ailleurs faite autour du rachis. L'arthroscopie ayant toujours eu un rôle de pionnier, les domaines innovants et les techniques audacieuses mais déjà reconnues sont également traités. Ce livre, par son approche didactique et très illustrée (près de 1 700 figures, dont plus de 250 dessins originaux), constitue à la fois une référence unique pour les chirurgiens orthopédistes arthroscopistes confirmés désireux de retrouver ou d'approfondir toutes les techniques existantes et un guide indispensable pour les chirurgiens en formation.

La chirurgie des lambeaux consiste à transposer des tissus à vascularisation autonome d'une région anatomique à une autre. Grâce aux progrès technologiques et aux études d'anatomie vasculaire de plus en plus approfondies, cette chirurgie a évolué pour aboutir plus récemment au concept de « lambeau perforant ». Ce concept permet d'allier sécurité vasculaire, qualité de la reconstruction et réduction des séquelles fonctionnelles et esthétiques. La technique chirurgicale de prélèvement repose sur une dissection microchirurgicale de la perforante dominante, naissant d'une artère source. Celle-ci est repérée et analysée, en préopératoire, par examen ultrasonographique ou tomographique numérisé. Ces lambeaux sont particulièrement intéressants pour couvrir des pertes de substance cervico-faciales ou réaliser des reconstructions mammaires. L'ouvrage proposé est construit comme un atlas qui donne les localisations préférentielles des artères perforantes cutanées, indique de quelle artère source elles sont issues et où elles se situent par rapport à des repères anatomiques précis. L'iconographie, originale et novatrice, présente pour chaque artère source, ses groupements de perforantes correspondants. Un tableau synthétique rappelle les informations principales de chacun de ces groupements de perforantes : réalisation ou non d'un lambeau libre, possibilité de prélever les vaisseaux sources ou non, longueur moyenne du pédicule perforant, surface moyenne de la palette cutanée. Le rôle et l'importance de l'imagerie peropératoire sont abordés ainsi que les applications cliniques. Cet atlas s'adresse aux chirurgiens plasticiens, aux chirurgiens généraux et viscéraux, aux chirurgiens orthopédistes ou vasculaires ainsi qu'aux anatomistes.

Orthopedic Physical Examination Tests: An Evidence-Based Approach

The field of musculoskeletal ultrasound has rapidly advanced in the past several years. The scanning protocols in particular have become more sophisticated and more standardized. Now in its fully revised and expanded second edition, this volume is the definitive resource on musculoskeletal ultrasound for the beginning practitioner.A new, first of its kind chapter has been added on ultrasound in Sports Medicine Emergencies. This expands the book topic from using POCUS as an office tool to its use on the athletic field to assist with emergencies. This new and detailed chapter includes the acute evaluation of an eye injury, lung, Morrison's pouch, IV access, fluid status, soft tissue and DVT protocols. Conforming to an identical chapter format, all previous chapters have been expanded and updated. Images have been reformatted to larger, clearer versions in addition to probe placement images going from black and white to full color. This book is dividedinto five different sections. It begins with chapters on the upper extremity such as the hand and wrist. The next section focuses on the lower extremity such as the foot and knee. The third section is nerve based and describes brachial plexus and major peripheral nerves. The fourth section covers Sports Medicine POCUS Emergencies. The last section details specific procedures such as I&D of abscess and hydrodissection. Each chapter follows a standard structure. They open with an approach to the patient, which contains the main pathology and clinical exam. The surface anatomy and ultrasound-based anatomy are then addressed. A discussion on patient positioning and probe settings follows. Pearls, pitfalls and red flags offer tips and pointers on scanning techniques as well as pathology not to be missed. Finally, each chapter is closed out with a summary report. Basics of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, 2e is a must-have reference for residents, fellowship directors, fellows and primary care physicians as well as athletic trainers, physician assistants, physical therapists and ultrasound technicians. It is also an excellent resource for participants of the AMSSM MSK ultrasound courses.

Les traumatismes de la cheville sont un des premiers motifs de consultation dans les services d'accueil d'urgences. Si l'entorse du ligament collatéral latéral est largement représentée parmi les lésions possibles, elle n'est pas, loin de là, le seul diagnostic à évoquer. Que rechercher? Avec quels moyens? Dans quel ordre? Comment traiter? Telles sont les questions que le médecin se pose et auxquelles il devra trouver une réponse, aidé en cela par un interrogatoire précis, un examen clinique méticuleux et rigoureux, et, si nécessaire, des examens complémentaires. En matière d'imagerie, celle-ci ne doit pas être systématique d'emblée mais toujours guidée par des préoccupations diagnostiques : Lésion osseuse (malléole, dôme du talus, calcaneum, métatarse)? Lésion tendineuse (fibulaires, tibial postérieur, calcanéen)? Lésion ligamentaire (syndesmose tibio-fibulaire, Chopart...) et/ou de choix thérapeutique (immobilisation? Chirurgie?). Quant aux modalités thérapeutiques, l'orthèse amovible a certes bouleversé la prise en charge des entorses du ligament collatéral mais elle ne saurait représenter la seule ressource devant tout traumatisme de la cheville. Cet ouvrage, fruit de l'expérience de nombreux spécialistes, aborde de manière claire et didactique les différents tableaux cliniques possibles faisant suite à une lésion récente de la cheville. Il fait également le point sur les nouvelles recommandations actuellement disponibles et applicables aux urgences. Il constituera un guide essentiel pour l'urgentiste, le médecin du sport, le chirurgien orthopédiste, le médecin de médecine physique et de réadaptation dans sa pratique quotidienne aux urgences ou en consultation.

Die ORTHOPÄDISCH-CHIRURGISCHE OPERATIONSLEHRE vom Jahre 1962 ist ein Standardwerk für Chirurgen und Orthopäden in Deutschland und im Ausland geworden. Sie ist bereits in das Spanische übersetzt worden und erschienen. Der Sinn und der Zweck des Ergän­ zungsbandes ist, die Operationslehre wieder auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Der Ergänzungs­ band für unsere Orthopädisch-Chirurgische Operationslehre enthält die neu gesammelten opera­ tiven Erfahrungen unserer eigenen Klinik und darüber hinaus wichtige Operationen, die in den letzten Jahren in der Weltliteratur veröffentlicht wurden. Die Operationslehre hat durchaus ihre persönliche Note behalten. Die Operationen, die an anderen Kliniken geübt werden, erfahren eine kritische Stellungnahme. Je größer das Blickfeld über die Operationsmöglichkeiten ist, um so leichter ist es für den Arzt, das für seine Kranken beste Verfahren zu wählen. Dieser neue Ergänzungsband stützt sich wohl auf den großen Hauptband der Orthopädisch­ Chirurgischen Operationslehre, er ist aber so abgefaßt, daß er auch tür sich etwas Selbständiges, Abgeschlossenes darstellt, wenn es auch wünschenswert ist, auf den Hauptband zurückgreifen zu können. Die neue Operationslehre enthält unter anderem die heutigen Operationen für die Behandlung der angeborenen Deformitäten des Klumpfußes, der Hüftdysplasie und Hüftverrenkung sowie der Aplasieen der oberen und unteren Gliedmaßen. Neu aufgenommen wurde die operative Frühbehandlung der angeborenen Hüftverrenkung, eine eingehende kritische Besprechung ver­ langten die verschiedenen Formen der Beckenosteotomien für die Behandlung der Hüftverren­ kung.

Traditional Chinese tui na, one of the earliest medical treatment methods with a long history tracing back to ancient times, is an important component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This book is compiled with the aim of popularizing tui na modality along with allowing readers to understand and master the fundamental theories, basic techniques, commonly used acupoints and parts, and diagnosis and treatment methods of diseases in a relatively short period of time. The book is a summary of clinical experiences of tui na with practical contents and detailed illustrations, which can be easily appreciated and serve both purposes of the popularization of tui na and advancement in this field.The book introduces 25 common maneuvers including manipulations in children, more than 70 common diseases with diagnostic, treatment, and preventive methods, and some 240 images illustrating acupoints, maneuvers, examination, and treatment methods in order to facilitate study and learning. The formal arrangement totals 14 weeks, with two days of extra content, adding up to one hundred days. Lastly, the book has appended four indices: Common Tui Na Acupoints and Areas, Common Tui Na Maneuvers, Common Examinations, and Common Applicable Diseases and Symptoms.After completion of the book, readers will be able to understand the main essence in the discipline of tui na and dispel the stereotypical view that tui na can only treat pains and movement disorders. The correct concept should be established so that it can be applied to a variety of diseases in internal medicine, external medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics in clinical practice. In addition, the readers will have built a solid foundation for a further and more in-depth grasp of the discipline.

There have been tremendous recent advances in the pharmacotherapy, dose regimens, and combinations used to treat cancer and for the treatment or prevention of the spread of disease.

La spécificité technique de certains sports et le niveau de pratique de plus en plus élevé des compétiteurs exposent les tendons, notamment calcanéen et patellaire, à des risques traumatiques ou microtraumatiques croissants. Responsables d'arrêts fréquents, voire parfois définitifs, de la pratique sportive, il convient de bien connaître ces pathologies. Les publications les concernant n'ont cessé de se multiplier ces derniers temps, permettant d'entériner ou d'abandonner sur des bases scientifiques un certain nombre de données. Que rechercher? Avec quels moyens? Dans quel ordre? Comment traiter? Comment prévenir? Telles sont les questions que le médecin prenant en charge ces lésions se pose et auxquelles il devra apporter une réponse. Si l'examen clinique reste un élément incontournable, que ce soit pour établir un diagnostic ou suivre l'évolution, les progrès accomplis récemment en matière d'imagerie imposent de revisiter certains éléments considérés jusqu'à présent comme pathognomoniques de ces lésions. Par ailleurs, la place des examens complémentaires, au sens large du terme, et notamment ceux utiles à la réalisation de tous les gestes d'injection, mérite d'être clairement précisée. Quant aux traitements, si l'efficacité des moyens conservateurs « traditionnels » a montré ses limites, faut-il pour autant adopter sans réserve les dernières nouveautés (PRP, scléro-injection, etc.)? Enfin, à la lumière des résultats des travaux publiés, la chirurgie est-elle l'ultime recours en cas d'échec des autres méthodes?
