"... I would recommend this book for an in-depth analysis of the lumbar spine and its degenerative states ... extremely beneficial for the resident early in trainings as he or she attempts to correlate the complex anatomy of the lumbosacral region with associated pathological states ...” Journal of Neurosurgery

This book covers the content of European postgraduate spine surgery courses, using a case-based approach. It describes a stepwise solution to a real-world clinical problem and compares this with the best available evidence. It then provides suggestions on how to bridge the gap (if there is one) between standard of care and evidence-based medicine. Spine Surgery: A Case-Based Approach is aimed at postgraduate students of spine surgery (both trainee neurosurgeons and trainee orthopedic surgeons), and is also of interest to medical students.

ecognized as one of the leading references on the spine, this comprehensive text brings together experts from around the world to discuss the full scope of spinal surgery. This edition presents expanded coverage of all aspects of spinal surgery including cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine; adult and pediatric; degenerative, deformity, tumors, fractures, infections and more. It also discusses indications, conditions, surgical technique, pre- and postoperative care and possible complications. Highly visual, this text contains 700 new illustrations

It is not long since surgery of the spine dealt with fracture-dislocation and tuberculosis, little else. With the advent of contrast X-ray and anatomical study a wide range of disease entities has been categorized and become the subject of corrective and ameliorative treatment. The principal author of the present book has played a distinguished part in widening knowledge of the anatomy of the bones, ligaments, blood vessels, neural features and the natural history of diseases relevant to hard structure disorder. He has done this in relation to the development of highly refined surgical techniques based strictly upon structural requirements in relation to the disease processes under treatment. The result is a comprehensive account of his integrative conceptualisation and the relevant principles of the methods used. His component, the major part of the book, is in the tradition of John Hunter, Bland Sutton, Kanavel and others who improved their understanding and treatment by the discipline enforced by the discipline of basic investigation. In the era of proliferation of specialties and books of single author chapters it is refreshing to meet one man's mind extended. By Sir George Bedbrook adding the fruits of his years of experience and thought about the treatment of spinal injury the book is enriched. As the best of two investigative practitioners, it reflects the best features of the surgical calling and should be studied not only for its material but especially for its reflection of high professional endeavour.

Part of the popular Tips and Tricks series, Emory Spine: Illustrated Tips and Tricks in Spine Surgery provides succinct and practical advice acquired from years of expert practice in spine surgery. Led by John M. Rhee, MD from the Emory University Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Emory University Spine Fellowship, this visually stunning reference focuses exclusively on detailed descriptions of technical tips and tricks for all aspects of spine surgery. This unique approach will be highly useful to everyone from orthopaedic and neurosurgery spine fellows and residents, to practicing spinal surgeons – anyone who would benefit from exposure to the wisdom that experienced attending surgeons pass on to those who are training or working in this complex field.
