Beschreibung
This book offers a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of lower limb nerve entrapments, integrating anatomical, diagnostic, and therapeutic perspectives. The journey begins with an examination of the epidemiology, shedding light on its prevalence and distribution. Building on this foundation, readers delve into the general aspects of neuropathies, gaining insights into the various manifestations and underlying mechanisms of nerve disorders affecting the lower limbs.
The text includes detailed descriptions of the anatomy, meticulously addressing the structure and function of lower limb nerves. It also features Common Peroneal Nerve Entrapment, including its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as Anterior and Posterior Tarsal Syndrome, Meralgia Paresthetica, Piriformis Syndrome, and other rare syndromes of lower limbs, including clinical presentations and therapeutic approaches.
Relevant complementary exams, such as surgical techniques, interventions, and management strategies, are discussed to optimize patient outcomes in these painful conditions. A chapter is dedicated to the use of tendon transfer as a treatment option, providing guidance for managing the aftermath of nerve injuries in lower limbs. It is also richly illustrated with videos of surgical techniques.
Lower Extremity Nerve Entrapment – Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment is an essential resource that equips neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and plastic surgeons - both aspiring and experienced - with the knowledge necessary to diagnose and manage the complexities of peripheral nerve disorders. From epidemiology to treatment strategies, this book equips readers with insights needed to excel in the challenging field of neurosurgery.
