The Spine: Medical & Surgical Management: Two Volume Set

Description

Key Features

• A complete, two volume, evidence based study edited by an internationally recognised team of spine surgeons based in the USA, China, Canada, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Egypt and India.
• Divided into 135 chapters, across fifteen sections. The first section covers general topics in spinal medicine, including anatomy, biomechanics, physical and neurological examination, interventional diagnostics and therapeutics, and anaesthesia.
• This is followed by sections on the development of the spine, metabolic disorders, and bone grafting.
• Subsequent sections focus on surgery for particular parts of the spine, including cervical, lumbar and thoracic, as well as sections on spinal cord injuries and motor preservation.
• Later sections in the book provide information on the spine in paediatrics, adult deformity, tumours, vascular malformations and infections, complications of spinal surgery, and a final section on minimally invasive techniques.
• Enhanced by 1500 full colour images, the book is also made available online, complete with text, images and video, with each physical copy.
