Neuware - The Ilizarov device has revolutionized the treatment of non-healing fractures and the correction of
deformities. This book supplies all the information required in order to use the Ilizarov and other external fixation
devices optimally; it will serve as an indispensable manual for both trainee and experienced orthopedic surgeons.
Biomechanical principles, preoperative preparation, and the use of a system of coordinates to allow safer insertion
of K-wires and half pins are thoroughly discussed. External fixation of a variety of fractures in different pathologic
settings is then clearly explained in a series of detailed chapters with the aid of high-quality illustrations. Numerous
case reports are included to illustrate the results of different treatment methods. In addition, postoperative
management and treatment of complications are described. Since the first edition the text has been thoroughly
updated, with inclusion of contributions from leading world experts.When it was developed, the Ilizarov device
represented a revolutionary advance that made it possible to correct previously untreatable conditions through the
stimulation of bone growth based on the principle of distraction osteogenesis. The device subsequently gained
popularity among surgeons throughout the world since it can be used for the treatment of fractures that have failed
to heal satisfactorily and for deformity correction. The technique is, however, complex and requires specialist
knowledge if it is to be applied optimally.This is the second edition of a well-received book that focuses primarily
on external fixation using the Ilizarov device but also considers other devices employed for the purpose. The
opening chapters include discussion of biomechanical principles, use of a system of coordinates to allow safer
insertion of K-wires and half pins, preoperative preparation, and principles of frame construction. External fixation
of a variety of fractures in different pathologic settings is then clearly explained in a series of detailed chapters with
the aid of high-quality illustrations. Numerous case reports are included to illustrate the results of different
treatment methods. In addition, principles of postoperative management are described and advice is provided on
correction of errors and treatment of complications. Since the first edition the text has been thoroughly updated,
with inclusion of contributions from leading world experts. This volume will serve as an indispensable manual both
for trainee orthopedic surgeons embarking on a steep learning curve and for more experienced surgeons requiring
advice and guidance in demanding cases. 1593 pp. Englisch. Bookseller Inventory # 9788847026186
