About this title

Synopsis

Here's the New Edition of the "gold standard" reference on spinal disorders in adults and children. Renowned for its comprehensive, anatomical and clinical coverage, this landmark text has been thoroughly revised and updated to include the latest information on surgical and non-surgical treatment methods...internal fixation devices...instrumentation...imaging techniques...clinical studies...and every other aspect of spinal care.

New chapters on discogenic back pain, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, interventional vascular radiology of the spinal cord, bone substitutes, and outcomes research.

Expanded coverage of minimally invasive lumbar surgery and thoracoscopic surgery, as well as spinal instrumentation.

Includes newer technologies for imaging, and offers improved MRI and CT images throughout.

FEATURES:

Presents key information--written by active clinicians--in a straightforward, practice-applicable manner.

Incorporates basic science and statistical information when appropriate, providing a more analytical, less "anedoctal" approach to management.

Emphasizes the natural history of disorders--and the careful evaluation of surgery indications--to guide readers away from "over-treating" the patient.

Addresses factors that help readers recognize and avoid difficult clinical situations.

Offers broad, contemporary coverage of pain management, from neuroscience to alternative medicine.
