Download or read book Trigger Finger Cure written by Joshua L. Sho and published by Lasgeorges Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the most detailed, up-to-date comprehensive guide on trigger finger- stenosing tenosynovitis, trigger thumb, locking finger, finger arthritis, video game thumb pain, iPad and smartphone finger pain. This is a must-read guide for anyone suffering with pain in the finger(s). It's clear that "classic" trigger finger is a predictable mechanical malfunction, but there are so many other reasons the problem can surface, some even tied to diet. That's an area of particular interest to me as a vegan, and what I read here makes absolute sense. The modern diet, especially in America is a disaster. If our bodies can't get our attention one way, they'll get it another. This is an easily accessible overview of what can be a medically dense subject. Even the proper name for trigger finger, "stenosing tenosynovitis" is a tongue twister. Without getting into intricate fine points of anatomy, you'll discover all about the classic trigger finger in Part I, before expanding that examination in Part II to consider diffuse causes of the condition. Both standard and cutting edge therapies are explained and explored. The "standard" treatment for trigger finger is, in theory, surgery. When you're done reading this book, I'm sure you'll agree that surgery should be the option of last resort. This is a thoughtful and useful compendium of practical data on a "simple" condition that isn't "simple" at all. The point is well made that we take our hands for granted until they don't work. The case studies are especially compelling, and agree that the anecdotal evidence suggesting a link to vocation or avocation is strong. Given the heavy use of smartphones in our society, I found myself wondering if instances of trigger thumb will continue to rise, with a direct link to texting.

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Surgery in Orthopedics written by Giles R. Scuderi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minimally invasive surgery has evolved as an alternative to the traditional approaches in orthopedic surgery and has gathered a great deal of attention. Many surgeons are now p- forming all types of procedures through smaller surgical felds. Along with changes in the surgical technique, there have been rapid advances in computer navigation and robotics as tools to enhance the surgeon’s vision in the limited operative felds. With these new techniques and technologies, we must ensure that these procedures are performed safely and effectively with predictable clinical outcomes. This book has been expanded from our previous publi- tions to include spine and foot and ankle surgery, along with updated sections on knee arth- plasty, hip arthroplasty, and upper extremity surgery. The clinical information and surgical techniques, along with tips and pearls, provided by experts in the feld allows the reader to grasp a comprehensive understanding of the nuances of MIS. It is our intention that this text will be a valuable reference for all orthopedic surgeons. New York, NY Giles R. Scuderi, MD Piscataway, NJ Alfred J.
