Spine

Written by the world’s best-known spine surgeons, this volume of our Orthopaedic Surgery Essentials Series presents all the information residents need during spine surgery rotations. It can easily be read cover to cover during a rotation or used for quick reference before a patient workup or operation. The user-friendly, visually stimulating format features ample illustrations, algorithms, bulleted lists, charts, and tables.

Coverage begins with diagnostics and proceeds to specific disorders: trauma, infections, tumors, degenerative disorders, deformity, inflammatory disorders, sports injuries, and osteoporosis. Subsequent chapters cover nonsurgical treatments and surgical procedures. Concluding chapters cover pain, bone grafting, biomechanics, and outcomes assessment.
