The second edition of this text updates the reader on progress in the many disciplines related to the lumbar spine. It covers basic science, assessment, diagnosis and management, and prevention. Reflecting the latest advances in the field, the text features expanded coverage of spinal stenosis, decompression and spinal fusion. New chapters on the healthy spine and the upright posture, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, soft tissue spine pathology, non-operative management and the ageing spine are included.
