Klappentext zu „Injuries to the Chest Wall “
Up-to-date and multidisciplinary, this text brings together all of the latest research and clinical treatment strategies for the management of injuries to the chest wall and rib cage. The management of trauma to the chest wall, especially "flail chest" injuries, has been relatively stagnant for many years. Non-operative treatment has been the standard of care, and despite some advances, has reached the point where there is little new to offer a severely traumatized patient. However, recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the interest in surgical fixation of unstable chest wall injuries. Specifically, plate or intramedullary nail fixation of multiple rib fractures has rapidly become the state-of-the-art in many trauma centers, and there have multiple research papers, reviews, new fixation devices, and instructional courses at national level meetings on this topic. This book assembles a diverse group of experts in the field-orthopedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, anesthetists, basic science researchers-to produce the definitive work on this topic that will appeal to a wide variety of medical practitioners.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Injuries to the Chest Wall “

Pressezitat
"This multiauthored, multinational book describes the rationale for surgical chest wall reconstruction after blunt trauma. ... Emergency medicine providers, trauma specialists, thoracic surgeons, and orthopedists are an appropriate audience. ... This is an excellent summary and state-of-the-art review for rib fracture stabilization. ... This book can be recommended for its well-written chapters and effective descriptions of the scope of this important problem." (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2016)
