Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Radiology

Volker K. H. Sonntag mainly investigates Surgery, Spinal fusion, Spinal cord, Nonunion and Magnetic resonance imaging. His Surgery study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Anesthesia and Spinal cord injury. His research investigates the connection between Anesthesia and topics such as Randomized controlled trial that intersect with problems in Bolus, Clinical trial, Acute spinal cord injury, Neurogenic shock and Regimen.

His study explores the link between Spinal fusion and topics such as Atlantoaxial instability that cross with problems in Atlanto-axial joint, Internal fixation, Os Odontoideum, Foramen and Vertebral artery. His Nonunion study which covers Radiography that intersects with Osteogenesis imperfecta and Rheumatoid arthritis. His work deals with themes such as Retrospective cohort study, Ligament, Central nervous system disease and Neurological injury, which intersect with Magnetic resonance imaging.

His most cited work include:

  • A randomized, controlled trial of methylprednisolone or naloxone in the treatment of acute spinal-cord injury. Results of the Second National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study. (2091 citations)
  • Administration of Methylprednisolone for 24 or 48 Hours or Tirilazad Mesylate for 48 Hours in the Treatment of Acute Spinal Cord Injury Results of the Third National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Randomized Controlled Trial (1186 citations)
  • A randomized, controlled trial of methylprednisolone or naloxone in the treatment of acute spinal-cord injury (812 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Volker K. H. Sonntag mainly focuses on Surgery, Anatomy, Cadaveric spasm, Radiology and Spinal cord. His Surgery research includes elements of Anesthesia and Spinal cord injury. Anesthesia is closely attributed to Randomized controlled trial in his work.

His research on Anatomy frequently links to adjacent areas such as Fixation. His study on Cadaveric spasm also encompasses disciplines like

  • Biomechanics that connect with fields like Range of motion,
  • Fixation together with Screw fixation. Volker K. H. Sonntag is interested in Magnetic resonance imaging, which is a field of Radiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (56.15%)
  • Anatomy (17.87%)
  • Cadaveric spasm (11.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Surgery (56.15%)
  • Anatomy (17.87%)
  • Cadaveric spasm (11.37%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Surgery, Anatomy, Cadaveric spasm, Neurosurgery and Biomechanics. He regularly links together related areas like Radiology in his Surgery studies. He combines subjects such as Cyst and Lateral mass with his study of Anatomy.

Volker K. H. Sonntag works mostly in the field of Cadaveric spasm, limiting it down to concerns involving Fixation and, occasionally, Cervical spine. His Neurosurgery research includes themes of General surgery and Spinal instrumentation. His Biomechanics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Range of motion, Orthodontics, Fixation and Vertebra.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A randomized, controlled trial of methylprednisolone or naloxone in the treatment of acute spinal-cord injury (812 citations)
  • Surgery of the Craniovertebral Junction (84 citations)
  • Dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery: Incidence and risk factors (78 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Radiology

Surgery, Neurosurgery, Anatomy, Pedicle screw and Lumbar are his primary areas of study. His study involves Dysphagia and Thoracolumbar spine, a branch of Surgery. Volker K. H. Sonntag interconnects Invasive surgery, Clinical success, Spinal injury and Spinal instrumentation in the investigation of issues within Neurosurgery.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range of motion and Spinal cord. His studies deal with areas such as Cadaver, Thoracic vertebrae, Displacement and Perforation as well as Pedicle screw. His Lumbar vertebrae study in the realm of Lumbar interacts with subjects such as Human bone.
