Spinal Surgery : Science and Practice

A multi-author textbook integrating the relevant scientific infrastructure of the subject into modern day spinal surgery practice. While technique (and technology) is fully treated, the perspective of this volume is that the performance of a procedure is frequently of less pivotal importance than the decision making process leading into the particular procedure and, even more importantly, how the patient is counseled and managed throughout the critical phase.
