Summary:
Authored by a multidisciplinary team that includes orthopedists and neurosurgeons, Textbook of the Cervical Spine is a practical, clinically focused reference for treating the full range of cervical spine disorders. From degenerative spine conditions and inflammation to trauma and infections, it guides you step-by-step through state-of-the-art surgical and fixation techniques, today's emerging technologies, and possible complications.
