Nonfusion Technologies in Spine Surgery by Marek Szpalski Pdf

Written by an international group of expert spine surgeons, this volume thoroughly examines new nonfusion technologies for treating spinal degenerative conditions while preserving motion. Major sections describe various surgical techniques and devices for nucleus pulposus replacement and total lumbar and cervical disc arthroplasty, as well as other stabilization techniques. Coverage includes indications and contraindications, surgical approaches, and the latest clinical trial results. Several chapters discuss nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatments, including gene therapy, nucleus pulposus regeneration, and IDET. Other chapters address economic and ethical issues, including use of registries, medical device regulation, and outcome and cost of lumbar disc replacement versus lumbar fusion.

Nonfusion Techniques for the Spine by James Maxwell,Steven Griffith,William Welch Pdf

Nonfusion Techniques for the Spine: Motion Preservation and Balance presents information on spine surgery implants and highlights the state of the art in total artificial discs. It addresses the features and benefits of the debate between motion-sparing devices versus motion-eliminating devices and emphasizes the fundamental, basic biomechanical principles applied to spinal implant development. In addition, this book offers valuable pearls of wisdom from developers and clinical users. Motion Preservation Individual chapters dedicated to specific spinal implants that are being used in clinical practice and investigative studies, as well as those on the horizon, are included. Informative chapters on lumbar discs are written by the developers of the products and/or the lead clinical investigators. These individuals are experts on the nuances and technical aspects of the devices featured. Through the book's balanced approached to the pros, cons, and limitations of each technology, readers will find this an essential resource for determining which device is best suited for each individual patient. A Unique Collaboration A rare meeting of the minds provides the great allure of this book and gives it an individuality all its own. One of the book's strongest attributes is its collaborative nature. The editors, researchers, and engineers from industry and academia are teamed with contributing spine surgeons and medical professionals. Nonfusion Techniques for the Spine: Motion Preservation and Balance effectively captures this unique collaboration and results in a book with clinical and scientific viewpoints. Biomechanics and Clinical Applications Weaving together biomechanics and clinical applications, the book's two major divisions, is an important feature of the overall book but also of each individual chapter. The clinical needs and patient emphasis will guide a scientific engineer through the development process needed for new implants, whereas the scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles provide essential knowledge to clinicians. The combination of these two thought processes is very powerful and provides a comprehensive look at the latest information on spine surgery implants. Step-by-Step Technique For the spine surgeon interested in providing patients with the latest treatments and procedures in motion preservation technology, this book is a must. It is beautifully illustrated in four-color throughout and packed with step-by-step surgical instructions that guide the reader through each surgical technique. An accompanying DVD features the key techniques discussed in the book. This book is uniquely positioned to appeal to the general practicing surgeon, the academic professor, and the industry researcher/executive, and is a must read for all involved in the field of spine surgery.

Emerging Spine Surgery Technologies by Terry P. Corbin,Patrick J. Connolly,Hansen A. Yuan,Qi-Bin Bau,Scott D. Boden Pdf

Today's spinal surgeons are poised at the threshold of technological breakthroughs that will enable them to restore the disc to like-new performance, make every fusion a certainty, and reverse osteoporotic fractures - all with minimally invasive procedures. Yet several of the final barriers to success are unlike those faced by earlier researchers and clinicians. Evidence-Based Medicine Evidence-based medicine, which requires different and more stringent clinical studies than those required for regulatory approval, is now the dominant decision methodology demanded by payers of health care. This is where the treatments to be used by tomorrow's spinal surgeon will be made or broken. To ensure reimbursement, physicians must have access to scientific evidence that a new product is not only safe and effective but also appropriate for a specific condition. This comprehensive book provides a solid evidence-based foundation for evaluating developments in the spine surgery arena. It is essential reading for all spine surgeons. Emerging Spinal Surgery Technologies presents the methods from which the gold standard of the next decade will most likely emerge. It thoroughly details what lies on the horizon in every discipline dedicated to treatment of the spine. And it outlines the many new considerations, FDA approval and ever-rising reimbursement standards by Medicare and the major health insurers, that will influence the course of future developments. Leading Authorities Chapters by distinguished individuals in the field preview the most promising developments in biologic and tissue engineering as applicable to spine fusion, repair and regeneration of the intervertebral disc, and spinal cord repair and regeneration. Chapters describing the leading methods of surgical navigation, often required to verify placement of devices and to visualize anatomy, are also included. Step-by-Step Surgical Technique for All Major Procedures Readers will find authoritative, step-by-step descriptions of surgical techniques and methods for spinal implants and disc replacements. In each chapter the authors outline patient indications and then guide the reader through the intricacies of each procedure. Numerous photographs and radiographs as well as ample boxes and tables add further detail. In addition, tips and tricks, problems and complications, as well as results and benefits are discussed.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery by Frank Phillips,Isador Lieberman,David Polly Pdf

Over the past decade, minimally invasive techniques have developed rapidly and are widely applied in the management of spine disorders. With the development of enabling technologies, including specifically designed spinal retractor systems, intraoperative imaging and navigation technologies, and real-time neural monitoring, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) techniques are safe, effective and reproducible. Indeed, studies have confirmed the clinical and economic advantages of these procedures. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery includes detailed discussions of enabling technologies, surgical techniques (including posterior decompression and fusion), approaches to specific diseases and conditions, as well as strategies to manage the unique risks and complications of MISS. Generously illustrated, this will be an essential reference for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and all health care professionals who treat the spine.

Arthroplasty of the Spine by Robert Gunzburg,Michael Mayer,Marek Szpalski,Max Aebi Pdf

Joint replacement is a logical step in the treatment of severe joint pathologies with irreversible lesions resisting conservative therapy. At the spinal level, arthrodesis became, very early, the gold standard of treatment for severe intervertebral disc pathologies. The next logical step was to envision functional replacement, and this step was taken as early as 1956, when the first intervertebral implant was described. However, it took many more years and a great variety of proposed implant designs before clinical applications could be attempted.
