Description
Designed to meet the evolving needs of the practising spinal surgeon, this modern and definitive volume adopts a regional and technique-specific approach to surgical spinal stabilisation and spinal implants. Appropriate specialists offer a thorough appraisal of the theory of design of implants (including design contraints), and optional surgical procedures available to the surgeon are fully reviewed. Full procedural descriptions are accompanied by numerous illustrations and detailed discussion of the complications which can arise during treatment is included. Medico-legal and ethical issues are also appraised.
