Download or read book Operative Brachial Plexus Surgery written by Alexander Y. Shin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully illustrated and enhanced with accompanying video clips, this comprehensive text presents the clinical evaluation and management of brachial plexus injuries and reconstruction, both for adult patients and birth injuries. Divided into two main sections, part one covers adult brachial plexus injuries, discussing the relevant anatomy and biology, epidemiology, and associated injuries. The main focus, however, is on diagnosis – the clinical exam as well as neurodiagnostic and radiographic evaluation – and surgical management approaches and techniques, including nerve grafting and transfers, tendon and muscle transfers, and joint fusion. Related topics are presented in chapters on sensory reinnervation, neuropathic pain management, the role of amputation and prosthetics, and pre- and post-surgical therapy protocols. Brachial plexus birth injury is described in part two, also focusing mainly on diagnosis and management but with an emphasis on the fact that babies are not small adults and special considerations are warranted. This section concludes with chapters on the management of late complications and long-term sequelae. A comprehensive surgical text on brachial plexus injuries has not been previously attempted. Filling a large gap in the literature, Operative Brachial Plexus Surgery is the go-to resource for adult and birth related brachial plexus reconstruction for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastics surgeons, and their trainees.

Several new findings not previously described are presented, and techniques to treat these problems are shown. Illustrations and pictures are designed to improve understanding of the concepts underlying treatment options as well as the underlying pathologies. The book is divided into sections covering the initial nerve injury, and the physiological and anatomical responses of the muscles and bone to the nerve injury. A separate section is devoted to clinical methods of diagnosing common as well as unusual problems that occur. Opposite each illustrated section on diagnosis is a treatment panel that describes the author's personal approach to the management of various functional deficits. Dr. Nath's book is written for a wide audience and is an introduction to a fascinating and often misunderstood field of medicine.
