Synopsis

Featuring contributions by more than 100 leading specialists worldwide, and providing unparalleled coverage of basic science, clinical, and surgical issues, this two-volume work redefines the state of the art in pediatric orthopaedic spine surgery. The extensively illustrated and referenced text reviews the developmental anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the pediatric spine; chronicles the pathophysiology of all congenital and acquired disorders; and demonstrates current-generation diagnostic modalities, surgical procedures and techniques, and rehabilitation regimens. The contributors guide the reader through each junction in the clinical decision-making process, from the initial examination, to the comprehensive diagnostic workup, to the choice of medical treatment or surgical technique, prevention and management of complications, and successful rehabilitation. The two volumes contain over 1,200 illustrations, including original step-by-step drawings demonstrating surgical techniques, clinical and intraoperative photographs, radiographs, CT scans, and MR images. A detailed appendix of radiographic measurements, classifications, and definitions is also included.
