Contributions of Dr Luiz Vialle
Lecture: Epidemiology, Pathomechanics and Neurodeficit in Spine Injuries
This spine surgery lecture covers epidemiology, pathomechanics and neurological deficits in spinal injuries. It discusses the frequency, levels affected, and causes of spinal injuries according to the available literature. It is interesting to learn if social or economic status influences the epidemiology. The pathomorphology is addressed here, explaining the influence of different vectors and axes in producing different injuries, allowing the reader to understand the multiple bone deformities after trauma. Finally, the mechanisms and types of Spinal Cord Injury are discussed, highlighting the importance of an adequate neurological evaluation.
Lecture: Complications and Revision Surgery in Subaxial Cervical Trauma
This spine surgery lecture looks at the potential subaxial cervical trauma surgery complications and revisions. The management of nonunion and mal union is discussed in detail. Treatment strategies for management of oesophageal injuries are also suggested. Finally, the processes involved in decision making for appropriate approach and revision of work performed earlier are covered, and how to approach the unique challenges offered by the scarred and infected field.
