Description
This book is a comprehensive guide to the management of complex spine cases. Presented as a series of case studies, it brings together the experiences and knowledge of expert contributing specialists.
Divided into five sections Early Onset Scoliosis, Pediatric Spinal Deformity, Adult Spinal Deformity, Trauma and Tumors, and Cervical Spine each part explains numerous cases relevant to that topic, describing the challenges, techniques for management, and pitfalls, for each one.
Edited by highly experienced US-based spinal surgeons, including Alexander R Vaccaro from Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Pennsylvania, this practical reference is further enhanced by more than 500 illustrations.
