Comprised exclusively of clinical cases involving osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), this concise, practical casebook will provide orthopedic surgeons with the best real-world strategies to properly diagnose and treat both pre- and post-collapse conditions. Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as the case outcome and clinical pearls and pitfalls. Part I discusses pre-collapse treatments aimed at the early stages of ONFH, including the use of bisphosphonates, stem cell therapy and minimally invasive core decompression. Chapters presenting post-collapse treatments aimed at preserving the femoral head comprise part II, including non-vascularized bone grafting, osteochondral transfer and transtrochanteric osteotomy. Cases covering post-collapse total hip arthroplasty (THA) and common complications round out the presentation. Pragmatic and reader-friendly, Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Clinical Casebook will be an excellent resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents and fellows treating hip pain.

This book brings together a comprehensive set of chapters that cover the basic principles of fast track surgery, clinical enhancements, but also important aspects of project management and change management in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. Although the value of care pathways and fast track surgery are probably well known by almost everyone, there are still too many differences in arthroplasty care not only around the world, but also within countries. How can it be that the fast track principles are implemented so poorly? Probably because it looks so simple, yet it's so complex that many doctors don't know where to start. This handy ESSKA book provides an easy-to-consult guide that summarize the most important notions in a concise, accessible way.
