内容説明

This text details the prognosis after a wide variety of specific traumatic injuries to the head, neck or spine. Well referenced, it can be used as a guide by any surgeon who has to compile a medico-legal report on outcome. It does not include details of case law or agreed sums of compensation and will therefore have broad international appeal. It has been compiled by over 40 UK and USA acknowledge experts.
