This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 30 years, we have taught limb correction surgery at the annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course (www.DeformityCourse.com). We have used these hands-on experiences with our students to guide us when creating this book. The Art of Limb Alignment with Excerpts from the Baltimore Limb Deformity Course Workbook is a concise guide for beginners starting on their journey to master the art of limb alignment. Understanding limb alignment and malalignment is a critical task for surgeons who treat lower extremity deformities. The first task is to characterize the deformity: Is the bone angulated? In what direction is the bone angulated? What is the level of the deformity? Where is the apex of the deformity? What is the magnitude of the deformity? Is the bone short? Is it rotated on its axis? All these questions must be answered before correcting the problem.In Chapter 5 of this ninth edition, we have developed new approaches to analyze sagittal plane deformities. The sagittal plane has always been challenging to teach because the range of motion of the knee adds a level of complexity. Joint motion or lack of joint motion contributes to or compensates for sagittal plane deformities. Without understanding and quantifying the soft-tissue contribution, the deformity will not be fully addressed and corrected. We have developed two new angles to analyze the confounding factor of knee motion in the sagittal plane: the sagittal mechanical axes angle (SMAA) and the sagittal joint line angle (SJLA). We also developed three different ways to calculate the soft-tissue contribution: the Seesaw Method, the Formula Method, and the Table Method. We decided to present three options so that surgeons can select the method that best suits their learning style (from more visual to more mathematical). Using one of these three methods to carefully evaluate the soft-tissue contribution will allow for an accurate assessment and the creation of a successful treatment strategy.This edition also includes excerpts from the Baltimore Limb Deformity Course Workbook (starting on page 243). The workbook is an essential part of the planning workshops that will be offered during the Virtual 30th Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course (www.DeformityCourse.com) that will be held in August 2020. During pre-recorded sessions, world-renowned faculty will guide participants through analyzing the cases in the workbook and planning the correction strategies. During live sessions held on August 29 and 30, 2020, participants will be able to ask faculty for additional help and guidance with concepts as well as specific cases.The Art of Limb Alignment is intentionally short, concise, and we hope, easy to master. The theme is that of student and teacher (sensei) embarking on a voyage to master the art of limb alignment. Enjoy the journey!

All these questions must be answered before correcting the problem. In Chapter 10 of this tenth edition, digital planning software (Bone Ninja app, available as an iPad app teaching tool through the App Store) is used to show the reverse planning method for femoral deformity. Reverse planning using manual methods was introduced by Rainer Baumgart in 2009. In a normal femur, the anatomic and mechanical axes deviate from each other by 5˚ to 7˚. By using reverse planning to "begin with the end in mind," the surgeon will minimize risk of unwanted mechanical axis deviation secondary this anatomic-mechanical axis divergence. In Chapter 13, the principles of MAP the ABCs are applied to common conditions seen in foot and ankle deformities. Foot and ankle deformity correction can be challenging to treat due to the compensation from the joints within the foot. This chapter shows step-by-step analysis and correction of four deformities: a pes planus foot with hallux valgus, cavus foot, rockerbottom midfoot, and ankle varus malunion.

Download or read book Arthrogryposis written by Lynn T. Staheli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term arthrogryposis describes a range of congenital contractures that lead to childhood deformities. It encompasses a number of syndromes and sporadic deformities that are rare individually but collectively are not uncommon. Yet, the existing medical literature on arthrogryposis is sparse and often confusing. The aim of this book is to provide individuals affected with arthrogryposis, their families, and health care professionals with a helpful guide to better understand the condition and its therapy. With this goal in mind, the editors have taken great care to ensure that the presentation of complex clinical information is at once scientifically accurate, patient oriented, and accessible to readers without a medical background. The book is authored primarily by members of the medical staff of the Arthrogryposis Clinic at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, one of the leading teams in the management of the condition, and will be an invaluable resource for both health care professionals and families of affected individuals.
Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This excellently illustrated book adopts an evidence-based approach to evaluate the efficacy of different techniques for the imaging and treatment of patellofemoral pain, instability, and arthritis. The aim is to equip practitioners with an informative guide that will help them to manage disorders of the patellofemoral joint by casting light on the many issues on which a consensus has been lacking. The opening chapters supply essential background information and explain the role of various imaging modalities, including radiography, CT, MRI, and bone scan. The various conservative and surgical treatment approaches for each of the three presentations – pain, instability, and arthritis – are then described and assessed in depth, with precise guidance on indications and technique. Postoperative management and options in the event of failed surgery are also evaluated. Throughout, careful attention is paid to the literature in an attempt to establish the level of evidence for each imaging and treatment method. The new edition has been thoroughly updated, with inclusion of additional chapters, in order to present the latest knowledge on biomechanics, diagnosis, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation.
