Description
This textbook on scoliosis and spinal deformity surgery provides the information and insight necessary for safe practice for the orthopaedic surgeon. Even though both scientific and technical aspects are considered, emphasis is placed on the understanding of the scientific principles. Once these are grasped, the surgeon will appreciate the complexities of management. It will become clear that knowing when to leave well alone is as important as knowing when and how to operate. K.D.Leatherman is founder member and past President of the Scoliosis Research Society. R.A.Dickson is founder member of the British Scoliosis Society and Consultant Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgeon at St James' University Hospital and the General Infirmary, Leeds.
