Musculoskeletal Disorders and Injuries: Diagnosis and Therapeutic Strategies
The musculoskeletal system is an organ system which facilitates movement and provides support, form and stability to the body. It is comprised of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, joints and other connective tissue that bind tissues and organs together. The disorders of the musculoskeletal system encompass motion discrepancies or functional disorders. As several other body systems such as the nervous, vascular and integumentary systems are correlated with the musculoskeletal system, disorders within these systems also affect the musculoskeletal system. Articular disorders are the most common musculoskeletal disorder. The disorders of the muscles of a different body system can cause respiratory dysfunction, bladder malfunction and impairment of ocular motion. Muscular dysfunctions, such as paresis, ataxia or paralysis can arise due to infections or toxin exposure. The level of impairment caused by these disorders depends on the condition and its severity. The musculoskeletal system can also be injured due to acute traumatic events, repeated exposure to awkward posture, force or vibration. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the assessment and management of musculoskeletal disorders and trauma. For all those who are interested in orthopedics, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Bone and Joint Disorders
The adult human skeletal system comprising of 206 bones provides support and protection to internal organs, and facilitates movement. The joints between bones can maintain heavy loads, withstand compression and execute smooth and precise movements. The bones are affected by a number of diseases, among which are fractures, infections, arthritis, osteoporosis and tumors. Fractures occur on exposure to a significant force or repeated trauma over time. It may also occur when a bone is considerably weakened with osteoporosis, cancer or affected with Paget's disease. Metastases in bones are generally secondary cancers but bones are a common site for the spread of lung cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, kidney cancer and prostate cancer. These secondary cancers can destroy or create bone. Cancers of the bone marrow can affect the bone tissue. In osteoporosis, there is a reduction of bone mineral density thereby increasing the likelihood of fractures. When one or more joints are inflamed, the condition is called arthritis. It can be of different forms- osteoarthritis, septic arthritis, gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, etc. The joints of the mandible may be affected by temporomandibular joint syndrome that inhibits jaw movement and cause facial pain. Bones and joints disorders are diagnosed with ultrasound, CT scan, MRI scan and X-ray. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about bone and joint disorders. It includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into these disorders. For all those who are interested in orthopedics, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
Surgical Techniques in Trauma
Trauma can cause prolonged disability or death. Its management requires quick medical action and often surgery. Surgical techniques can also be part of the diagnostic procedure to assess the condition of the patient. A tube or catheter may be placed to drain fluid from the peritoneum, the pericardium or the chest, especially when there is severe blunt trauma to the chest or abdomen. In cases where the patient is exhibiting dropping blood-pressure levels, possibly due to bleeding in the abdominal cavity, surgically cutting through the abdominal wall is vital. The assessment of the injury is made with the aid of imaging and physical examination. This allows the understanding of the severity of the injury and the location of the damage. A majority of trauma-related deaths occur from unrecognized intra-abdominal bleeding. These could be prevented if prompt surgical intervention takes place. Therefore, exploratory surgeries are often conducted to determine the extent of abdominal injuries. Damage control surgery can save life and limb. This book elucidates new surgical procedures for the management of trauma in a comprehensive manner. It strives to provide a fair idea about clinical trauma and its manifestations as well as develop a better understanding of the surgical interventions applied in trauma care. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
