Tous les grands types de situation clinique sont envisagés, et leurs traitements sont détaillés, expliqués, et richement illustrés par un total de plus de 1700 images. • Pour chacun des 54 cas cliniques exposés, les auteurs comparent les possibilités de traitement et commentent les raisons de leur choix final en fonction des éléments diagnostiques du cas. • Deux chapitres sont consacrés aux principales différences entre thérapeutiques linguales et vestibulaires, ainsi qu’aux particularités de la biomécanique linguale. • Le traitement des dysmorphies sagittales, verticales et transversales fait l’objet d’une grande partie approfondie et méthodique. • Afin de répondre aux besoins d’une pratique clinique aussi large et variée que possible, six chapitres étudient des situations cliniques particulières : la reprise de traitement, les extractions, les agénésies d’incisives latérales, les traitements pré-prothétiques, la contention, et enfin l’aspect médico-légal. Ouvrage de référence pour les orthodontistes et pour les chirurgiens désireux d’élargir leurs connaissances, ce livre est conçu pour être un support global de l’amélioration de nos savoir-faire, ainsi qu’un guide dans nos choix thérapeutiques.

    Cette monographie consacrée aux prothèses totales de genou de première intention dresse un état de l'art de la pratique clinique. Elle prend appui sur les particularités techniques de cette chirurgie courante, qui touche différents types de population, souvent âgée mais parfois plus jeune et active voir sportive. L'ouvrage fait le point sur les prothèses en décrivant successivement : – la gestion pré- et péri-opératoire ; – les implants ; – les principes techniques communs à toutes les PTG ; – les spécificités et particularités techniques ; – les résultats. Les chapitres, richement illustrés de plus de 250 dessins originaux, photographies, clichés et arbres diagnostiques insistent non seulement sur les aspects de technique chirurgicale, mais aussi sur la gestion du patient en périopératoire, l’analyse des attentes des patients, le choix des implants, l’analyse des résultats et la prise en charge des situations spécifiques. Le but de cet ouvrage est de donner les clés de base de cette chirurgie, de permettre d’anticiper les difficultés, de rendre cette intervention la plus reproductible possible. Plus de soixante spécialistes livrent, pour les orthopédistes en formation et confirmés, les clés d'une pratique adaptée.

    • Serge Tixa
    • French
    Depuis sa première édition, cet atlas d’anatomie palpatoire s’est imposé comme l’outil de référence pour comprendre l’anatomie pratique et clinique du membre supérieur. Il permet : - une meilleure démarche diagnostique, la palpation constituant l’un des temps forts de l’examen clinique ; - une meilleure application des techniques manuelles (articulaires, myotensives, neuromobilisation). Organisé en 4 parties : ostéologie, arthrologie, myologie, nerfs et vaisseaux, l’ouvrage présente de façon précise et concrète les différentes régions anatomiques (cou, tronc et sacrum, épaule, bras, coude, avant-bras, poignet et main), grâce à une soixantaine de planches anatomiques en couleurs et près de 500 photographies en noir et blanc, toutes prises en situation « sur le vivant ». Chaque photographie, particulièrement soignée, est accompagnée d’un texte décrivant la technique d’approche (TA) qui permet au lecteur de retrouver immanquablement la structure recherchée. Chaque fois que nécessaire, les rappels anatomiques indispensables à une bonne application des techniques d’approche (insertions, actions, innervation) sont mentionnés. Entièrement refondue, mise à jour et augmentée, cette 4e édition offre au lecteur un nouveau schéma de lecture conforme aux programmes d’enseignement avec une ventilation par structure anatomique, puis par région anatomique. Une nouvelle maquette facilite le repérage dans l’ouvrage. À la fois manuel de référence et guide méthodologique, cet atlas s’adresse aussi bien aux étudiants qu’aux praticiens en kinésithérapie, ostéopathie, chiropraxie et podologie. Les photographies, à la fois artistiques et techniques, permettent mise en relief des structures anatomiques recherchées.

    La prise en charge d’un accouchement, qu’il soit normal ou pathologique, rend essentielle la définition d’une conduite à tenir précise pour assurer un encadrement et un suivi optimaux de la parturiente par l’équipe médicale. Pour cette sixième édition, cet ouvrage maintient son objectif d’offrir aux médecins aussi bien qu’aux sages-femmes les indications essentielles pour une prise de décision rapide et efficace. Organisé en cinq parties (accouchement normal, variantes de l’accouchement normal, accouchements pathologiques, complications de l’accouchement et techniques obstétricales), cet ouvrage se compose de 32 chapitres s’articulant autour d’objectifs à atteindre, d’un exposé didactique, d’arbres décisionnels et d’une iconographie exceptionnelle (dessins, photographies pédagogiques et vidéos 3D). À ces derniers s’associent un rappel physiologique et de nombreux cas cliniques regroupés sous forme d’exercices en fin d’ouvrage. Ces cas cliniques, tirés d’observations réelles et comportant parfois des erreurs de conduite, nous ont parus, constituer des exemples, à suivre ou à ne pas suivre, de grande valeur pédagogique. Ce livre tient compte des recommandations pour la pratique clinique du Collège national des Gynécologues-Obstétr... français (CNGOF) et de la Haute autorité en santé (HAS). Les auteurs ont aussi rapporté les recommandations du Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), de l’American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) ou de la Société des obstétriciens et gynécologues du Canada (SOGC). Outre des textes entièrement actualisés, l’ouvrage s’accompagne d’un mini-site décrivant la mécanique obstétricale de l’accouchement au travers d’une trentaine d’animations 3D commentées et des cas cliniques.
