Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume examines developments in the approach to spinal-trauma management. Coverage extends to both the occipital-C2 and lower C-spine regions and includes reviews of the radiology and anatomy of regional fractures, the biomechanics of different regions and a comparative analysis of different treatment options available. Each of the 14 specialist chapters is fully illustrated - extensive use is made of radiographs, line-drawings and scans to complement textual description of surgical procedures and diagnostic imaging - and all of the chapters are fully referenced.
