Description
This book is addressed to surgeons in the specialities of orthopaedics and neurosurgery. It concentrates primarily on a presentation of surgical techniques, with discussion on indications and investigation where this is relevant to the choice of such technique. There is a certain overlap, particularly in relationship to the variability of approach by different authors. Many of the operative procedures are concerned with the management of degenerative disorders of the spine because they are relatively common and other rare conditions such as arteriovenous malformations are not discussed. The choice of instrumental fusion techniques to be described is necessarily selective.
