Hip Replacement: Current Trends and Controversies
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, with its surgical profile, is a must for those specialising in this condition (hand surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, physiatrists and hand physical therapists), for both experts and newcomers to this field. For the young surgeon just starting out, the book explains the technical modalities of surgical treatment for this condition and describes alternative non-surgical procedures. It also depicts the complications that can arise in treatment. For more experienced surgeons, this book is an instrument for deepening their knowledge of this condition and its management. It can be considered a moment for reflection on a condition that is erroneously considered simple to treat and easy to resolve. The surgical chapters compare various complications as well as various conservative and rehabilitative treatment options, thus underlining that this condition must not be underestimated. Incorrect treatment can have many negative ramifications: not only that the patient is dissatisfied but it can also lead to the hands functional loss and render the patient an invalid. This book is also intended for all physicians and medical students interested in this subject, presenting the broad range of problems caused by this condition and how best to manage them.
Internal fixation of femoral neck fractures: An Atlas
Femoral neck fractures occur primarily in the elderly population, and nowadays arthroplasty is chosen most frequently as a treatment solution. In the era of financial restrictions in health care system non-invasive internal fixation is an attractive choice, because in addition to the lower immediate costs the rehabilitation period might also be shorter. In this illustrated atlas the authors deal with epidemiological aspects, anatomical and biomechanical specialities of the given region, diagnostic and management potentials, satisfactory both for orthopaedic and trauma specialists. By means of presenting minimally invasive technique step-by-step, and their own results, the aim is to persuade the reader that the ratio of complications remarkably can be diminished by urgent surgery, based on selective indication criteria. Aspects of postoperative treatment and rehabilitation are also clarified in details. The research team under the guidance of Professor Manninger collected experiences of 50 years.

Book Description:
There are many superb books on how to do operations but there are few or none on how to assist at them, and none written either by or for medical students or doctors. Therefore, the skills that make an expert surgical assistant are difficult to acquire. Normally, they can only learn in a haphazard way, by spending years in the operating theater. This book describes those skills in a concise and systematic way, in surgery in general, and in ten different speciality areas. Although intended mainly for clinical-level medical students and junior doctors, other people who assist at surgical operations, including general practitioners, nurse assistants and surgical technologists, will also find it useful. Whether planning a career in surgery, or simply aiming for high marks in a surgical rotation, there are few better ways to impress a surgeon than by skilfully assisting at surgical operations.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
Book Description:
Technical advances in gene sequencing in the past few years have greatly enhanced our ability to detect and understand the role of genetic alterations in musculoskeletal diseases. Though our treatments based upon the new knowledge has not been substantially affected by the recent advances, this is likely to change in the near future. The orthopaedist who stays abreast of these advances will be able to offer better counseling, diagnostic tests and treatment options for patients. The current group of papers in this symposium provides readers with background on how genetic researchers are trying to unravel the genetic
mystery of both common and rare orthopaedic disorders. An earlier study1 found genetic conditions were present in greater than 50% of patients admitted to a pediatric orthopaedic hospital with musculoskeletal disorders. The genes responsible for Mendelian inherited orthopaedic conditions, including many types of skeletal dysplasias, osteogenesis imperfecta, and neurocutaneous syndromes (neurofibromatosis) are known. For other, more common, conditions with complex inheritance patterns, such as scoliosis and osteoarthritis, the identification of genes that influence disease susceptibility has been more elusive.
