Praise for this book:
"Overall, this book provides little opportunity for criticism and is a gold
mine of
quick reference material and user-friendly
illustrations."–Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery
Drawing on the experience of leaders in both neurosurgery and orthopedic
surgery, Handbook of Spine Surgery is authoritative, concise, and portable, designed for use in a fast-paced clinical setting. Its coverage of both principles and techniques of contemporary spine surgery, including anatomy, pathology, procedures, and instrumentation, makes it highly useful as a refresher before surgery, an easily digestible study guide, or a daily companion for physicians caring for patients with spinal disorders.
Key Features:
- An easy-to-read, bullet-style format that provides
readable but not overwhelming content - Surgical Pearls that tap into the experiences of
surgeons who have mastered that procedure - Common Clinical Questions (with answers) at the end of
each chapter that highlight topics frequently encountered in the operating
room and on board exams - Superb visual examples that illuminate the procedures
described - Helpful appendices that cover positioning, spinal
orthoses, and scales and outcome measures
A first-of-its-kind, this handbook is
designed to be the go-to guide for those conducting and involved in surgical spine treatment.
