| problems with artificial disc replacement: Cervical Laminoplasty K. Nakamura, Y. Toyama, Y. Hoshino, 2003-07-24 Cervical laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament was developed and refined in Japan during the 1970s. Since that time, various cervical laminoplasty techniques have been further analyzed and modified, and have proven to be clinically successful. Until now cervical laminoplasty has been practiced primarily in Japan, and surgeons outside Japan had only limited access to the detailed English literature needed to make full use of the procedures. This book fills that gap in English information and provides a detailed, up-to-date guide to performing safe and effective cervical laminoplasty. Drawing on the latest knowledge from Japan, the book covers the history of cervical laminoplasty, surgical anatomy, basic procedures, modified procedures, possible complications, and perspectives on the future of expansive laminoplasty. This volume by leaders in the field is an excellent guide for all surgeons interested in laminoplasty. |

| problems with artificial disc replacement: Balloon Kyphoplasty Stephan Becker, Michael Ogon, 2008-04-05 Osteoporosis is one of the ten most important diseases worldwide and its importance will rise further f- lowing the aging of the population. Vertebral fractures are the most common fractures in osteoporosis and have signi?cant impact on quality of life and survival rates, as well as carrying increased socioeconomic costs. The establishment of minimally invasive treatment schemes in recent years has led to reduced peri- erative morbidity and increased early mobilization. This book focuses on balloon kyphoplasty and alter- tive minimally invasive treatments for stabilization of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The optimal treatment of a patient with osteoporotic vertebral fractures requires an interdisciplinary - proach, and therefore our book draws on the expertise of orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists and neu- surgeons, and also includes a chapter on medical treatment. We are happy to present the ?rst English edition of this book. All chapters have been extensively revised and updated. In addition to a detailed description of the technique of balloon kyphoplasty, with practical tips from experts, the book retains a chapter on the medical treatment of osteoporosis, which is still ind- pensable in the interdisciplinary approach to osteoporosis. This well established concept, uniting several treatment aspects including conservative treatment, is preserved in this book. However, new chapters have been added as the result of recent developments and clinical ?ndings. |

| problems with artificial disc replacement: Spinal Arthroplasty Richard D Guyer, Jack E Zigler, 2005-07-01 This is an exciting time for those involved in the care of patients with back pain. Generally, the goal in treating back pain patients is to reduce pain and increase function. Traditionally in spine surgery, as was the case many years ago for other joints, this goal has been pursued by eliminating motion of the symptomatic joint. Great progress was made years ago for hips and knees with the development of total joint replacements that allowed painless motion of what had been a painful and disabling degenerative joint. Since the mid 1980s similar progress has been made for the spine. Spinal Arthroplasty: A New Era in Spinal Care provides a comprehensive overview of the philosophy of motion-sparing technology in the evolving arena of spinal arthroplasty. This book describes the type of patients being treated with these devices, the historical development of the implants, the techniques and technologies of spinal arthroplasty, clinical results, and a preview of the possibilities for the next generation of treatments. The contributing authors are experts in their respective areas of spinal arthroplasty, and, in some cases, they are the inventors of the devices. The experience and wisdom the editors and authors share give the reader a balanced understanding of the importance of motion preservation and stability in the management of degenerative disease. Spinal Arthroplasty: A New Era in Spinal Care will serve as an introduction to the less experienced in this philosophy of care as well as a reference tool for more experienced spinal care providers endeavoring to gain a greater understanding of the science that supports the preservation of motion in spinal reconstruction. |

| problems with artificial disc replacement: The Danger Within Us Jeanne Lenzer, 2017-12-12 Before you get anything implanted in your body, read this book. - Shannon Brownlee, author of Overtreated Did you know... - Medical interventions have become the third leading cause of death in America. - An estimated 10 percent of Americans are implanted with medical devices -- like pacemakers, artificial hips, cardiac stents, etc. - The overwhelming majority of high-risk implanted devices have never undergone a single clinical trial. In THE DANGER WITHIN US, award-winning journalist Jeanne Lenzer brings these horrifying statistics to life through the story of one working class man who, after his cure nearly kills him, ends up in a battle for justice against the medical establishment. His crusade leads Lenzer on a journey through the dark underbelly of the medical device industry, a fascinating and disturbing world that hasn't been written about before. What Lenzer exposes will shock readers: rampant corruption, elaborate cover-ups, shameless profiteering, and astonishing lack of oversight, all of which leads to dangerous devices (from artificial hips to pacemakers) going to market and into our bodies. In the vein of America's Bitter Pill and A Civil Action, THE DANGER WITHIN US is a stirring call for reform and a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of American healthcare. span |
