Spine Surgery

Fully revises and augments the best-selling first edition, keeping its focus on presenting surgical techniques of both common and uncommon procedures written by prestigious contributing specialists, and maintaining its approach of demonstrating step-by-step surgical instructions, including tips, pearls, pitfalls and "rescues", making this new edition an even more invaluable resource and guide for all those operating on the spine. Includes new chapters on minimally invasive exposure and fixation techniques of posterior spine, percutaneous cement augmentation techniques (including vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty), and bone grafting and reconstruction.
