Nonfusion Techniques for the Spine: Motion Preservation and Balance > Neurosugery

Recent trends toward the preservation or re-establishment of spinal motion as an operative solution for spinal pain has resulted in an explosion of technological developments. Nonfusion Techniques for the Spine: Motion Preservation & Balance presents the latest information in spine surgery implants and highlights the current state of the art in total artificial discs. It addresses the debate between the features and benefits of the overall concept of motion-sparing devices versus motion-eliminating devices as well as emphasizes the fundamental, basic biomechanical principles applied to spinal implant development. In addition, this book offers valuable pearls of wisdom from developers and early 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, such as the CHARITArtificial Disc, are written by the developers of the products and/or the lead clinical investigators. These individuals are the experts on the nuances and technical aspects of the devices featured. In addition, this book provides insight on future lumbar prosthesis such as Dascor and Inclose, which are emerging on the cutting edge of technology. Through the book 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 great allure to this book and gives it an individuality all its own. One of the bookstrongest 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 & Balance effectively captures this unique collaboration that results in a book with clinical and scientific viewpoints.
Biomechanics and Clinical Applications
Weaving together biomechanics and clinical applications, the book 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 the scientific engineer through the development process needed for new implants, while the scientific, mathematical, and engineering principles provide essential knowledge to the
clinician. 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 procedure in motion preservation technology, this book is a must. It is comprehensive, beautifully illustrated in 4-color throughout, and packed with step-by-step surgical instruction which 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.
