Handbook of Spine Surgery

The go-to handbook on the current evaluation and surgical management of spinal disorders

Handbook of Spine Surgery, Third Edition edited by renowned spine surgeons Ali A. Baaj, Praveen V. Mummaneni, Juan S. Uribe, Alexander R. Vaccaro, and Mark S. Greenberg reflects new techniques introduced into the practice since publication of the last edition, along with four-color images and videos.

The book is organized into four parts and 66 chapters, starting with basic spinal anatomy. Part II covers the physical exam, electrodiagnostic testing, imaging, safety issues, intraoperative monitoring, bedside procedures, and the use of orthotics, pharmacology, and biologics. Part III discusses a full range of spinal pathologies and the final section concludes with 34 succinct procedural chapters.

Key Highlights

• Contributions from an expanded "who's who" of spine surgery experts


• New chapters cover state-of-the-art techniques, including endoscopy, CT-guided navigation, robotics, augmented reality, and vertebral body tethering


• Procedural chapters include key points, indications, diagnosis, preoperative management, anatomic considerations, techniques, surgical pearls, and more

This is an invaluable resource for neurosurgical and orthopaedic residents, spinal surgical fellows, and practicing orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons who specialize in spine surgery.
