Bøger af K. Mohan Iyer

This book summarizes the lifetime work of Dr K. Mohan Iyer and is based on his research done at the University of Liverpool, UK, where he devised a "modified posterior approach to the hip joint" and has been following it from 1981 till today.

This book introduces arthrology in general and of both the upper and lower limbs specifically. It covers the examination of each joint of both limbs in a complete manner, discussing briefly their basic anatomy and physiology.

By a thorough clinical examination, it can help an individual to arrive at a tentative differential diagnosis of the condition and hence help in investigating the same by numerous tests which are relevant to the given condition.

This book gives details of how surgery of the hip joint has evolved around the world. The 22 original chapters are written by experienced consultants, including Drs. John O'Donnell (Melbourne, Australia), Manfred Krieger and Ilan Elias (Frankfurt, Germany), and Nicholas Goddard (London, U.K.). The book focuses on several important topics such as the direct anterior approach to the hip joint, setup of a total hip in a day, early experiences in outpatient hip surgery, advances in short-stem total hip arthroplasty, hemophilic hip joint arthropathy, mesenchymal stem cell treatment of cartilage lesions in the hip over the next few decades, and minimally invasive surgery of the hip joint.
