Synopsis

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.
