Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty [Hardcover]

Daniel Resnick (Editor), John Barr (Editor), Steven Garfin (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 16, 2005

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are two new procedures introduced in the past five years to treat pain from osteoporotic compression fractures. These procedures are carried out by neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and interventional radiologists - and the popularity of these procedures is growing. Because vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were introduced recently, there is little information available on them. This book will fill this gap in literature.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book will be of particular interest to all neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons involved in spinal surgery and in addition will be of great interest to geriatricians and rheumatologists who are frequently confronted with the elderly patient with osteoporotic fractures. I would strongly recommend this book as a first comprehensive and detailed analysis of techniques and outcomes in this emerging field of minimally invasive spinal surgery for a common condition."--The Journal of Orthopaedic Medicine

"A must for all spinal surgeons."--Acta Ortopaedica Belgica

"Would be helpful to the complete novice and also to a radiologist or surgeon who already has significant experience of this therapy. The illustrations are excellent...well written...This text is to be recommended for spinal specialists and radiologists in neurosurgical or orthopaedic spine surgical units."--Acta Neurochirurgica

"Black and white images are of good quality...a good book, dealing with the present experience on the topic of pain relief and correction of deformities resulting from vertebral compression...worth purchasing for those specializing in the management of a frequent spinal event."--ANZ Journal of Surgery

"This work...comes at the right moment named to give a progress report on...new therapies..[contains] an iconography as rich as the bibliography is complete."--European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery
