A unique, visually appealing, and easy-to-read guide on spinal anatomy, pathology, and management
The
management of patients with spinal conditions involves a team-based
approach, with professionals and trainees contributing through their
respective roles. As such, medical trainees need resources that enable
them to quickly and adeptly learn spine "basics," such as performing
spinal examinations. This handbook is a concise, compact guide on key
principles of spine surgical knowledge — from the atlanto-occipital
joint to the coccyx. It provides both professionals and medical trainees
with user-friendly, insightful text gleaned from the hands-on insights
of seasoned spinal surgeons.
Core fundamentals cover spine
anatomy, clinical evaluations, spine imaging, diagnostic spine tests,
and select spine procedures. Common surgical approaches are delineated
in succinct bulleted text, accompanied by case studies and radiographic
pathology. This format is conducive to learning and provides an ideal
spine surgery review for medical students, postgraduate trainees
participating in spine rotations, and residents.
