Description
In addition to detailing the latest techniques in surgery for spinal cord injuries, this book addresses the numerous non-surgical factors, many of them controversial, which must be considered before surgery. The editors have enlisted internationally known surgeons, spread relatively equally between orthopaedic surgeions and neurosurgeons. Surgeons describe in detail their technique for very specific, established instrumentation systems. Other chapters are more general technique oriented and cover more of an anatomic perspective rather than describing a one-system approach. The authors of thse chapters briefly describe indications for surgery. For each condition, the book offers different treatment options and techniques which may relate to training, individual/regional variances, or area of speciality. The book ends with two chapters on controversies in the treatment of spinal cord injury.
