Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clinical series examines some of the controversies surrounding the myriad approaches used in spine surgery. Developments in implant technology, biologic grafting materials, and minimal access techniques have resulted in an exciting-but sometimes overwhelming-array of options for the management of spinal disorders. Each volume in this new series will focus on 8 to 10 clinical problems, ranging from the most common to the most complex, and will present the treatment strategies of choice of the world's leading orthopaedic and neurologic spine surgeons. While no one method is deemed "best," Controversies in Spine Surgery helps put the problems and their treatment in perspective, and offers you multiple options for selecting the approach that works best for you and your patient.
