Total hip replacement is increasingly gaining acceptance in patients with arthritis, trauma, or malignancy destroyed hip joints. Hip replacement being a highly complex surgery requires expertise and knowledge of different techniques and equipments. There has been an increase in the number of young patients undergoing hip replacement, thus more so increasing the need of long lasting implants and best possible functioning. Moreover, the newer techniques like computerassisted hip arthroplasty and minimally invasive hip replacement have benefited the patients with the advantages of faster recovery, less pain, shorter hospital stay, and reduction in treatment costs.

Most discussions concerning the prophylaxis of Deep Vein Thrombosis usually end up with the resolution stating ‘we agree to disagree.’ The confusion persists and that is what makes this topic extremely exciting and challenging. The book is a result of multispecialty contribution to put together this manual with multispecialty contribution from vascular surgeon, anesthesiologist, physiotherapists, orthopedicians and most critically anatomists. The importance of venous thromboembolism (VTE) cannot be over empathized. Many questions may still be unanswered. Venous thromboembolism is a common disease; it includes both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is a common, lethal disorder that affects hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients, recurs frequently, and is often overlooked, under-diagnosed, with an average annual incidence of more than 1 case per 1000 persons. We however hope that we have once again lit a fire of inquisitiveness in your mind.

Demystifying Depression: Complete Spectrum - ECAB

This book is a concise guide to hip replacement surgery. Beginning with an introduction to exposures for complex hip arthroplasty, the following sections discuss hip replacement procedures for different types of condition including fractures, arthritis and tumours, as well as neuromuscular abnormalities. Each chapter provides orthopaedic surgeons with a complete review of the pathological problems that may be encountered, a rationale for preoperative planning and correction of bony and soft tissue abnormalities, as well as discussion on implants. Covering a broad spectrum from excision arthroplasty to computer assisted hip replacement, this useful reference includes 110 colour images and illustrations. Key Features Concise guide to hip replacement surgery covering range of conditions including injuries and diseases Broad spectrum of procedures discussed Examines pathological problems, preoperative planning and implants More than 100 colour images and illustrations

The Elsevier’s project, Influenza: Complete Spectrum–I, under the aegis of ECAB Clinical Update, aims at a comprehensive, well-illustrated and state-of the-art survey of salient aspects of the age-old infectious disease, influenza, which is notorious for causing seasonal epidemics and, rarely, pandemics. A hallmark of influenza viruses is their ability to cause global worldwide epidemics affecting a great number of individuals, or pandemics. Pandemic episodes are solely attributed to influenza A viruses and they occur every 10–50 years. Today, it is clear that influenza cannot be eradicated, at least in the foreseeable future. We are therefore, condemned to live with it though with better preparedness and endeavor to cope with its onslaught. The book, Influenza: Complete Spectrum–I, deals with the fundamentals and allied matters concerning influenza.

A comprehensive and authoritative book on total hip replacement surgery which focuses on surgical technique and also discusses preoperative planning, clinical assessment, hip scoring, radiology, templating and preparation. It includes extensive coverage of surgical techniques including cemented and un-cemented THR, post-operative recovery, planning and management of rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

Anterior hip replacement is a surgical approach that has dramatically changed the landscape of modern hip replacement. The approach is common to orthopedic trauma surgery, but it has been rapidly adopted in recent years for hip replacement as well. Its proposed benefits as a muscle-sparing surgery include less tissue trauma, faster recovery, and fewer hip precautions. While the technique can be challenging during initial learning and early adoption, the approach continues to increase in utilization in the U.S. every year because of these benefits. Understanding the initial development of the anterior surgical approach for hip replacement creates the foundation to better understand its modern clinical benefits and possibilities with advanced techniques. Furthermore, a detailed description of the reasoning behind the continued developments of the anterior approach helps in understanding the key elements needed to obtain the most successful outcomes. With the continued adoption of this technically challenging technique, there is a need for a comprehensive resource for newly adopting surgeons and surgeons in training, but also for experienced surgeons looking to enhance their skill sets. Written by experts in the field, this book presents the tips and tricks learned after years of experience by a wide spectrum of surgeons. Parts 1 and 2 describe the origin and background of the anterior approach for hip replacement, with early lessons learned, important tips when training others, and how to master the operating table and c-arm. Parts 3 and 4 cover hip biomechanics and variations on techniques and technologies, respectively, while part 5 is a unique compilation of surgeons' perspectives on managing common aspects of the approach. Revision surgery is described in part 6, and future directions for the technique are discussed in part 7, along with emerging navigation and technologies. Every year, there is an increasing number of orthopedic surgeons learning and adopting the anterior hip approach who would benefit from the resources in this book, which will serve as a critical learning tool for training surgeons and also as the go-to reference for optimizing current use and advancing future possibilities of the approach.
