Publisher's Synopsis
For neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons, this text describes recent techniques in spine surgery. With an emphasis on microscopic surgery, the atlas features three-dimensional drawings of the spine which communicate crucial anatomical landmarks in a way that photographs cannot. The text explains key points most essential to each operative approach. The authorship is split between a neurosurgeon and an orthopaedic surgeon to broaden the appeal to both specialities.
