Hexapod External Fixator Systems
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-40669-1 (ISBN)
Each chapter addresses a specific Orthopaedic problem and includes representative clinical cases commented on by the authors. Illustrations and X-ray images support the discussion of the various themes treated in the textbook. Special attention is also given to deformity morphology and the consequent geometry of correction, as well as economical aspects and the biological risks of radiation exposure. A review of current nomenclature in external fixation is also provided as a quick-reference resource.
Offering clear and straightforward descriptions of these devices and their current use in practice, prepared by leading international experts, this book will benefit expert surgeons and residents alike.
lt;b>Marco Massobrio is an Aggregate Professor of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at "Sapienza" University of Rome and the past President (years 2018-2020) of the Italian Society of External Fixation (SIFE). As Chief Surgeon of the Unit for pelvic and complex trauma of lower limbs at the Policlinico Umberto I in Rome, he has over 30 years of experience in the field of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, with a special interest in primary and secondary limb deformity correction and bone defect reconstruction, mainly by means of external fixator devices. For the past 10 years, he has been using computer- assisted hexapod external fixators for the treatment of complex deformities.
Redento Mora is a Full Professor of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the University of Pavia and is Chief Surgeon of the Orthopaedic Unit at the "Istituto di Cura Città di Pavia". He has a special interest in the treatment of congenital and acquired limb deformities, post-traumatic bone loss and non-unions. He has considerable experience in bone regeneration, the use of circular external fixation for bone transport, and the use of computer-assisted hexapod external fixators.
