Reviews
“This book is one of the few recognized texts focused on the topic of heterotopic ossification, and presents a complete, yet concise, summary of this common clinical entity. It provides an in-depth look into the condition from the pathophysiology behind its development through its clinical and societal impact using the most up-to-date literature. The book’s systematic approach to the topic makes it a relevant text to persons afflicted with the condition wanting to learn more about their disease, students of the biomedical sciences who are studying its pathophysiology, biomedical scientists who are searching for a better prophylactic or therapeutic modality to prevent or treat this condition, and Orthopedic surgeons and trainees of any subspecialty who may be faced with the task of operative excision. I strongly recommend this book.” – Joshua J. Jacobs, MD, William A. Hark, MD/Susanne G. Swift Professor and Chairman, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Associate Provost for Research, Rush University Medical Center
“Heterotopic Ossification: Basic Science, General Principles, and Clinical Correlates in Orthopedic Surgery” is an outstanding reference for the orthopedic community on a problem commonly seen in all orthopedic subspecialties and never before so well summarized in a single volume. Encyclopedic in its coverage, this compact volume will fit the needs of any clinician or research scientist with interest in this disease process. A large number of international experts, thoughtfully assembled by Bryan Saltzman M.D., thoroughly review the basic science underlying the pathogenesis of the disease process, as well as the epidemiologic, clinical and classification principles useful in understanding the pathophysiology as well as the principles of treatment.
The process of heterotopic ossification (HO) occurs in all regions of the musculo-skeletal system, but manifests in specific ways based on local anatomy. Therefore a detailed review of the clinical issues on a regional basis is essential. The following chapters are thus regionally based. Comprehensive in their coverage of the clinical aspects of HO, they are also systematic: beginning with a review of pathophysiology, incidence by etiology, risk factors, classification schemes, and clinical manifestations followed by a thorough discussion of treatment indications and techniques. Each chapter is carefully edited, so easily digested, as well as being thoroughly referenced.
The final segment of the text reviews additional interesting aspects of heterotopic ossification ranging from a review of animal models, ossification in the nervous system, and combat-related ossification as well other specific systemic pathologies. Each of these chapters, while unique in their orientation, are equally well written, and comprehensive.
This volume is an excellent guide to understanding, diagnosing and treating this common and frequently vexing disease. I believe there is nothing currently available to compete with it in the educational marketplace. For both experienced clinicians across the entire range of orthopedic surgery sub-specialties, as well as for trainees with a need for comprehensive regional coverage, it is truly a thorough reference. It should be an essential addition to every teaching program library, and would be a welcome volume to the personal collection of all orthopedic clinicians as well as bone scientists with an interest in the clinical aspects of this disease.” – Aaron G. Rosenberg, MD, Professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center
As a cohesive unit, this book provides a complete reference for high school or collegiate students, scientists, musculoskeletal/rheumatologic clinicians and orthopedic surgeons who find interest in HO or encounter it in the course of patient care.
