According to the NIH, an astounding 70-85% of all people have back pain at some time in their life. This timely reference specifically addresses the surgical treatment of low back pain.
Now completely revised and updated, the 2nd edition of this popular text provides an overview of new diagnostic and therapeutic surgical options as well as an anatomic and physiologic rationale for their application. New sections will include assessment of the efficacy of different treatments and evidence-based techniques, with discussions of artificial disc replacement strategies, emerging biological strategies for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, and evidence based assessment of fusion techniques. The reader will also find key clinical information on pathophysiology, imaging, patient selection, biomechanics, minimally incisional techniques, and much more.
With contributions from the most authoritative names in both neurosurgery and orthopaedic surgery, this book is an invaluable addition to the library of neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, spine surgeons, and residents and fellows.
