About Wolfgang Rauschning, MD

At the Uppsala University, Dr. Rauschning is a University Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery and a Research Professor in Clinical and Applied Anatomy and Pathology. His Medical and Doctorate Degree are from Christian Albrecht University of Kiel, Germany. His second Doctorate Degree is from Uppsala University where he developed the Uppsala Cryoplaning Technique.

Professor Rauschning’s unique slide collection details the normal anatomy of the spine, surgical approaches and a wide variety of pathological conditions such as degenerative changes, traumatic lesions, metastases, as well as surgical safeguards and complications, the functional anatomy and kinematics of the spinal joints and ligaments were also studied for physiotherapists and other manual therapy specialties.

The selection of the slides is based on the textbook chapters form “The Adult Spine” and “Lumbosacral and Spinopelvic Fixation”.  The slide set “Cervical Spine Injuries, Fractures and Whiplash” includes a monograph comprising a comprehensive review, over 500 references and five color–illustrated journal articles (experimental studies on radiographically “hidden” soft tissue injuries, several posterior plating systems and clinical outcome studies in 50 whiplash patients and patients who had anterior or posterior plating).

Employing the Uppsala Cryoplaning Technique, functionally positioned and in–situ frozen, specimens were cryomicrotome–sectioned and photographed at submillimeter intervals, bringing up the undistorted anatomy of the spinal tissues in their natural colors and in exquisite clarity and detail.
