    Description:  The starting point for the treatment of hip disease depends on how the natural hip joint can be preserved and on steps leading to regeneration of the diseased, injured, or destroyed joint. Preservation and regeneration treatments following traditional and theoretical methods do not need expensive materials, such as the artificial joints used in arthroplasty. On the other hand, these treatments are difficult to perform and require a long rehabilitation period. The result has been a move away from traditional methods, denying the surgeon experience and knowledge of the benefits associated with the most biologically appropriate treatment.

    This book, a selection of the papers presented at the 32nd Japanese Hip Society (JHS) Congress, includes the latest knowledge on preservation and regeneration treatments as well as arthroplasty. It is an invaluable source of reference for all who work in the field of orthopedic surgery.

    Description:  Ultrasound is a technique particularly suited to the investigation of disorders in children. It is painless, safe and non-threatening. There are significant strengths and weaknesses of its use in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders. This text describes the methods, findings and potential pitfalls of imaging where US is commonly used as the primary diagnostic method and where it is best as an adjunct to other imaging.

    The alternative imaging techniques including CT, MRI, scintigraphy and plain radiography are described in detail where appropriate. The reader of this book should obtain a working knowledge of the potential advantages of US whilst understanding when and where other forms of imaging are preferred. The authors have international reputations as researchers, clinicians and teachers in their field.

    Description:  Neurorehabilitation together with functional neurosurgery are steadily growing fields, with new advances and technologies including: selective interruption of various neural circuits, stimulation of the cerebral cortex, deep brain structures, spinal cord and peripheral nerves with implantable stimulation systems, and cell transplantation as well as nerve grafting. Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques have also begun to demonstrate the involvement of extensive functional and structural reorganization of neural networks within the brain. In order to encapsulate such concepts, the fourth official scientific meeting of the Neurorehabilitation and Reconstructive Neurosurgery Committee of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) was held in Seoul. This volume is the fourth in a new series of proceedings covering the most important advancements in this field.

    Description:  The book discusses how to move the injured patient from the scene of the accident, in conformity with pre-hospital techniques used by ambulance services in developed countries, and it incorporates refinements in advanced trauma life support (ATLS) which have developed over the past decade.The text explains how to assess the patient, using updated information on the classification and neurological assessment of spinal cord injury.There is a greater emphasis in making the correct diagnosis of spinal injury and established cord injury—unfortunately, litigation due to missed diagnosis is not uncommon.

    The pitfalls in diagnosis are identified, and by following the step by step approach described, failure to diagnose these serious injuries should therefore be minimised.Patients with an acute spinal cord injury often have associated injuries, and the principles involved in managing these injuries are also discussed.The later chapters follow the patient through the various stages of rehabilitation, and describe the specialised nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy required. They also discuss the social and psychological support needed for many of these patients in helping both patient and family adjust to what is often a lifetime of disability.
