SAGITTAL BALANCE OF THE SPINE. FROM NORMAL TO PATHOLOGY: A KEY FOR TREATMENT STRATEGY + ONLINE AT MEDONE

DESCRIPTION

Uniqueresource from internationally renowned experts details the key role of sagittal spine balance
Through evolution, human verticality became associatedwith a wide range of normal pelvic shapes and associated pelvic incidenceangles (PIs). While all types of sagittal alignmentgenerally provide adequate support to young adults, age, stress, and relateddegeneration can progressively lead to sagittalimbalance and contribute to various spinal pathologies.
Sagittal Balance of the Spineby Pierre Roussouly, João Luiz Pinheiro-Franco, Hubert Labelle, Martin Gehrchen, and a cadre of esteemed international contributorsfocuses on the importanceof sagittal alignment and spino-pelvic shapeidentification in clinical practice.Offering the most comprehensive text on sagittal balance to date, this state-of-the-art, richly illustratedbook fills a void in the literature, offering clinical pearls throughout seven sections and 24 chapters.

• The biomechanics of sagittal balance including spine modeling, primary parameters, spinal curves segmentation, and lumbar lordosis classification
• The role of sagittal balance in low back pain and degeneration, with discussion of spinal orientation and the contact forces theory, spinal degeneration associated with spinopelvic morphotypes, and compensatory mechanisms
• Comprehensive analysis of the relationship between sagittal imbalance and isthmic lysis spondylolisthesis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, Scheuermann's kyphosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and adult scoliosis
• Posterior and anterior treatment approaches from spinal fixation and spinal fusion to spinal osteotomy techniques and management of surgical failure

This textis essential reading for everyneurosurgical and orthopaedicresident, as well as veteran surgeons who evaluate and treat patients with spine conditions.Clinicians will learn why incorporating sagittal balanceevaluations into spinal exams is integral to devising more effectivetreatment strategies and achieving improved outcomes.
