Product Description

Carpal-tunnel and other entrapment syndromes are perhaps the most common work-related injuries currently reported. With this book, Vladimir Golovchinsky presents the first evidence of double-crush syndrome as a subgroup of these. To date the existence of double-crush syndrome has been a matter of debate. Dr. Golovchinsky presents a statistical analysis of substantial clinical material, which finds a cause-and-effect relationship between cervical or lumbar radiculopathy and peripheral entrapment in corresponding nerves, thus proving the existence of double-crush syndrome. This book will be invaluable to physicians performing EMG-NCV testing and to other healthcare professionals who encounter peripheral entrapment syndromes in their practices.

1.0 out of 5 stars Double Crush Syndrome, April 30 2005

By Carlo Brogna, MD - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Double-Crush Syndrome (Hardcover)

I came across Double Crush Syndrome (DCS) while preparing for a lecture. I had read ~30 primary sources, key articles, and I was well aware of the literature, issues, and controversies. I therefore was shocked when I read DCS. 1) Some topics, CTS or TTS, were OK but in no way compare in quality or PRICE to standards like Entrapment Neuropathies by Dawson, et al ($25! used/new ). 2) The cherry picking and biased presentation of the literature to support the authors view is troubling. 3) Regarding the statistics & analysis, well as Mark Twain said "3 kinds of lies: lies, dam lies, & statistics". In conclusion, I had to buy this for a lecture, but NO ONE else needs to buy this!
