Reseña del libro "ADVANCED ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY AND OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES (en Inglés)"
ADVANCED ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY IS ABOUT MORE THAN PERFORMING A PROCEDURE. IT IS ABOUT KNOWING WHY, WHEN, AND HOW TO ADAPT IT.Advanced Orthopedic Surgery and Operative Techniques provides a practical reference to contemporary orthopedic surgery, combining operative anatomy, surgical technique, clinical reasoning, evidence, technology, complications, and outcomes.The book covers: Operative anatomy and surgical approaches, including safe zones, surgical corridors, and revision exposuresPreoperative planning, digital templating, imaging, risk assessment, and implant selectionNavigation and robotics, including CT planning, 3D reconstruction, registration, accuracy, troubleshooting, and limitationsMinimally invasive surgery, tissue preservation, instrumentation, learning curves, and conversion strategiesArthroscopy and sports medicine, including ACL/PCL reconstruction, meniscal procedures, cartilage restoration, rotator cuff repair, labral procedures, tendon repair, and ligament reconstructionPrimary and revision arthroplasty, including hip, knee, and shoulder replacement, bone loss, implant removal, fixation, and periprosthetic infectionTrauma and fracture fixation, including nailing, plating, external fixation, periarticular and periprosthetic fractures, and nonunion or malunionSpine surgery, including decompression, microdiscectomy, fusion, TLIF, minimally invasive techniques, and cervical proceduresHand, wrist, elbow, and orthopedic oncology, including arthroscopy, nerve decompression, tendon and fracture procedures, tumor staging, limb salvage, and reconstructionComplications and outcomes, including infection, neurovascular injury, implant failure, patient-reported outcomes, and value-based careA central focus is surgical decision-making. The book examines why a particular approach, implant, or technique is selected, when an operative plan should change, when minimally invasive surgery should be converted, when robotic assistance should be abandoned, and when the best decision may be not to operate.Evidence is presented using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine framework, helping readers distinguish established clinical evidence from preliminary research, biomechanics, case series, and expert opinion.Designed for orthopedic surgeons, residents, fellows, surgical educators, postgraduate trainees, and health sciences learners, this reference supports preparation for complex cases, review of established procedures, evaluation of new technologies, and deeper understanding of modern operative orthopedic practice.For educational use by qualified medical professionals and health sciences students. Clinical information should be verified against current literature, manufacturer specifications, institutional protocols, and applicable clinical practice guidelines before application in patient care.
