Over the past 50 years, there have been unprecedented innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders. This outstanding new book, designed to complement the authors' MasterCases: Spine Surgery, brings together an international team of 53 renowned contributors who provide valuable insights and surgical secrets--their "tricks of the trade"-- in a concise, easy-access format. The text is succinct and well illustrated, giving you a quick reference on how to perform many spinal procedures. The book is divided into 13 sections, each examining a specific area of the spine. Within each section, you will find: descriptions of specific procedures; step-by-step instructions; potential benefits; indications and contraindications; special considerations; tips, pearls, and pitfalls; and "bail outs" or rescues for the most difficult situations. Plus, the book covers the entire spectrum of management issues--diagnosis, treatment, and complications--for each particular spinal procedure. Key features of SPINE SURGERY: TRICKS OF THE TRADE:

This review is from: Spine Surgery: Tricks of the Trade (Hardcover)
Great precis of the techniques. Not meant to replace a more authoritative tome. Simply a how to manual. A must for all spine surgeon's and all spine wannabes.
