Synopsis

Advancements in dynamic reconstruction of the spine have been immense. In particular, arthroplasy of the spine has taken a large step over the last half decade. This book summarizes the current technologies and advancements concerning dynamism. It offers comprehensive coverage of the history of arthroplasty, provides an understanding of current arthroplasty techniques, and proposes a direction for further advancement. This text is divided into various chapters subdivided into four sections. With a thorough review of the cervical and lumbar spine, the text incorporates both anterior and posterior approaches to dynamic stabilization. You will find sections on motion preservation of the spine, lumbar nucleus replacement, lumbar total disc replacement, dynamic posterior stabilization, facet replacement, annular repair, and much more. Within each section, the multitude of different chapters will provide an exhaustive review of systems in proposition and/or production. With each chapter written by the system's inventor or surgeon with expertise with that particular system, readers will gain specific insights into each system. Finally, dynamic reconstruction of the spine is becoming a reality. This state-of-the-art reference thoroughly summarizes the vast literature and equipment currently being investigated not only to contrast the instrumentation systems but also to provide insight into further research and development.

About this title

Review

The editors have succeeded in producing a text that provides a complete and up-to-date reference on the current state of dynamic stabilization, as well as on the technologies that are currently present only in the laboratory or are in the process of transitioning to the clinical realm. ...A very useful text for any clinician who actively treats degenerative disorders of the spine.--Journal of NeurosurgeryExcellent illustrations and well written and well referenced text accessible to those at all levels of expertise...worth its price...a must for any neurosurgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, radiologist, spine resident.--Doody's Book Reviews

From the Back Cover

Thieme congratulates Frank P. Cammisa on being chosen by "New York" magazine for its prestigious Best Doctors 2014 list.

"Dynamic Reconstruction of the Spine, Second Edition," is the most up-to-date resource on the instrumentation, technologies, and fundamental science integral to achieving spine motion preservation and stabilization. It is a completely revised text that includes not only the latest technologies and surgical approaches, including MIS techniques, but also significantly more detail on the clinical biomechanics of the spine than the previous edition. Readers will appreciate the guidance this book provides on how to: successfully adopt new technology, find appropriate indications, address common safety and efficacy issues, and answer health economics questions for ethics committees and payers.

Key Features: A substantial revision, with entirely new chapters in three quarters of the book, including a large section on basic as well as more advanced biomechanics topicsHighly visual - contains 20% more figures than the previous editionDiscusses and explains current advances in genetic and molecular technologies used to repair the spinal disc Includes an unbiased critique of the pro cons, clinical outcomes, and comparative outcomes of different devices

This new edition is an indispensable reference for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and radiologists, as well as residents and fellows seeking the latest information on the technologies used in spine motion preservation and stabilization.
