Beschreibung
Now revised and updated, this is an anatomic atlas of the nerves that innervate the joints of the human body, presented in a format that also provides technical insight into pathways that both interventional pain management and surgical subspecialists can use to denervate those painful joints when traditional approaches to manage the pain are no longer successful. Incorporating the latest research and evidence, it expands the knowledge of how denervation can relieve joint pain available to the many groups of physicians who care for this problem. Notably, this new edition features an added chapter on anterior knee pain. Each chapter is devoted to a joint and reviews the neural anatomy as it relates to the clinical examination of the patient. Chapters are user-friendly and provide details on the indicated nerve blocks and the clinical results of partial joint denervation. Clinical case studies also serve as a helpful guide in each chapter. Extensive intra-operative clinical photographs and photographs from new prosections provide examples to guide those physicians providing care to the patients with joint pain.
