Reviews
“This book raises fundamental issues concerned with the surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures. Following a comprehensive account on the history of the treatment of femoral neck fractures, state of the art of the methods and novel techniques based on the author’s own development and experience are presented in detail. Thus, for internal fixation, the contemporary BDSF method offers a much better fixation strength compared to the older conventional fixation methods. For the elderly patients, where arthroplasty is normally the procedure of choice, the anatomical direct lateral approach, a modification of the standard direct lateral approach, is described. Biomechanical analyses enlighten the descriptions of the methods presented. Author Filipov has created a well written and presented didactic important resource for a broad audience of orthopedic surgeons, applied researchers and students interested in the surgical treatment of fractures of the femoral neck.” – Professor Emeritus Joseph Mizrahi, D.Sc., Fellow, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology; Haifa, Israel
“Surgical Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures compiles, in concise, didactic fashion, the fundamental topics related to both internal fixation of, and arthroplasty for, femoral neck fractures in young and elderly patients. Causal biological and biomechanical aspects and mechanisms for these fractures are detailed, together with the biomechanics of the hip joint and bone-implant constructs. Detailed descriptions of the classical and contemporary methods for osteosynthesis are analyzed, including the description of supplementary techniques. This includes the author’s own novel method of biplane double-supported screw fixation (BDSF), offering supreme stability and fixation strength compared to parallel screws. Additionally, surgical approaches are discussed, such as the anatomical direct lateral approach for arthroplasty of femoral neck fractures, which is introduced as a modification of the standard direct lateral approach. This book represents an important resource for a broad audience of orthopedic trauma surgeons, researchers and students.” – Professor Dr Boyko Gueorguiev, Head of Biomedical Development, AO Research Institute Davos, AO Foundation, Davos, Switzerland.
