Synopsis

This landmark volume is the most complete and authoritative book on all aspects of surgery for spinal cord injuries. Forty-five internationally renowned neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons provide step-by-step coverage of the techniques in use today and address concerns such as the indications for surgery; the timing of surgery; the patient's spinal cord pattern and location; the mechanism of injury; alternative treatment options; and available techniques for instrumentation, stabilization, and fusion. Coverage includes the latest techniques for specific instrumentation systems--such as cervical wiring, sublaminar wiring, and Harrington, Edwards, and Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation--as well as the latest advice on the use of more general instrumentation systems, such as pedicle screws, posterior and anterior cervical plates, and anterior thoracolumbar instrumentation. More than 400 myelograms, X-rays, CT scans, and anatomical and intraoperative photographs and drawings complement the text.
