Anatomic Variations of the Upper Extremity


Book Description

A two-colour atlas of normal anatomy and common variations in the muscles, tendons, vasculature, nerves, bones and joints of the upper extremity. It contains a worldwide bibliography as well as references and 250 two-colour line drawings.




Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation


Book Description

Building on the strength of the previous two editions, Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation is the third installment of the classic human anatomical reference launched by Dr. Ronald Bergman. With both new and updated entries, and now illustrated in full color, the encyclopedia provides an even more comprehensive reference on human variation for anatomists, anthropologists, physicians, surgeons, medical personnel, and all students of anatomy. Developed by a team of editors with extensive records publishing on both human variation and normal human anatomy, Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation is the long awaited update to this classic reference.




Surgical Anatomy of the Hand and Upper Extremity


Book Description

Prepared by preeminent hand surgeons and a master medical illustrator, this text/atlas is the most comprehensive reference on surgical anatomy of the hand and upper extremity. It features 500 full-color photographs of fresh cadaver dissections and 1,000 meticulous drawings that offer a realistic, detailed view of the complex anatomy encountered during surgical procedures. The text is thorough and replete with clinical applications. A Systems Anatomy section covers the skeleton, muscles, nerves, and vasculature. A Regional Anatomy section demonstrates anatomic landmarks and relationships, surgical approaches, clinical correlations, and anatomic variations in each region. An Appendix explains anatomic signs, syndromes, tests, and eponyms.

Peripheral and Cerebrovascular Intervention


Book Description

Peripheral and Cerebrovascular Intervention draws upon experts from diverse fields to provide readers with a comprehensive foundation for understanding and performing endovascular procedures—from the basic steps to the most current and advanced techniques. Individual chapters focus on primary intervention sites, including lower extremity, renal/mesenteric, subclavian/upper extremity, carotid/vertebral, intracranial and venous interventions. Additionally, chapters covering critical limb ischemia and abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms are included. By incorporating valuable clinical information, such as indications, contraindications, complications and discussions of surgical techniques and procedures, this book is a valuable resource for the busy practitioner and will be of interest to all interventional and general cardiologists, radiologists and neurologists; vascular surgeons; internists and residents and fellows.




A Pocketbook Manual of Hand and Upper Extremity Anatomy: Primus Manus


Book Description

Pocketbook of Hand and Upper Extremity Anatomy: Primus Manus features exquisitely detailed full-color photographs of dissections and line drawings of all major anatomic entities. The written descriptions of anatomy are in bulleted format to allow quick access to the material. The book also describes clinical correlations for major diseases and includes various mnemonic devices.




Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia


Book Description

Regional anesthesia is a fast-growing field, fuelled by the application of ultrasound technology over the last decade. This book is a technique-oriented guide, which introduces the use of ultrasound technology with practical instruction in the placement of peripheral nerve blocks and continuous perineural catheters. Each procedure is summarized for quick, easy reference, and supplemented by ultrasound images, color photos, and detailed illustrations. Helpful hints and instructions are provided to further optimize block success. Chapters are organized into four sections, focusing on introductory concepts, upper extremity peripheral nerve blocks, lower extremity peripheral nerve blocks and continuous perineural catheters. Written by instructors from a major academic medical center who work in a fast-paced ambulatory setting, this is a key text for residents, fellows and staff physicians who wish to incorporate the use of ultrasound into the scope of their anesthetic practice.




MRI of the Upper Extremity


Book Description

MRI of the Upper Extremity is a complete guide to MRI evaluation of shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and finger disorders. This highly illustrated text/atlas presents a practical approach to MRI interpretation, emphasizing the clinical correlations of imaging findings. More than 1,100 MRI scans show normal anatomy and pathologic findings, and a full-color cadaveric atlas familiarizes readers with anatomic structures seen on MR images. Coverage of each joint begins with a review of MRI anatomy with cadaveric correlation and proceeds to technical MR imaging considerations and clinical assessment. Subsequent chapters thoroughly describe and illustrate MRI findings for specific disorders, including rotator cuff disease, nerve entrapment syndromes, osteochondral bodies, and triangular fibrocartilage disorders.




Targeted Muscle Reinnervation


Book Description

Implement TMR with Your Patients and Improve Their Quality of LifeDeveloped by Dr. Todd A. Kuiken and Dr. Gregory A. Dumanian, targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a new approach to accessing motor control signals from peripheral nerves after amputation and providing sensory feedback to prosthesis users. This practical approach has many advantage




A Pocketbook Manual of Hand and Upper Extremity Anatomy


Book Description

"Hand and upper extremity anatomy forms the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the physiology and pathologic conditions which influence function of the upper limb. Importantly, the intricate relationships and interactions between these diverse tissues define our unique capabilities for human function. The study of anatomy is analogous to the study of art; one must understand anatomy in order to appreciate it--in order to understand anatomy, however, one must appreciate its complexity of form and function, not withstanding its variations and anomalies. In an era where time spent in the anatomy laboratory has been de-emphasized within the medical education curriculum, an appreciation for anatomic relationships gained from a hands-on experience may suffer; a lack of awareness for anatomic detail may translate into the unfortunate consequence of a less detailed clinical assessment or a compromised treatment plan"--Provided by publisher.
