In the last two decades, spine instrumentation and surgery have undergone many improvements.
This second edition benefits from contributions by renowned orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons who helped create and refine the systems described in the book.

The only publication on spinal instrumentation

Concise yet comprehensive reference that educates clinicians on the causes, recognition, and avoidance of instrumentation complications
Organized by anatomical region and condition, the visualization of relevant anatomical landmarks is discussed in context with safe use of spinal
instrumentation

New
The new edition is focused on helping clinicians to avoid complications and to quickly recognize and manage complications when they do occur
Now four-color, with more than 230 new and original illustrations
