Spinal Arthroplasty. the Preservation of Motion

Description

Motion-sparing implants have revolutionized the treatment of spinal degeneration, yet the utilization of these life-changing devices is still in its infancy. A who’s who in the rapidly emerging field of spinal arthroplasty brings you state-of-the-art guidance on everything you need to know about motion-sparing devices, including relevant surgical anatomy, biomechanics, clinical indications, surgical approaches, and specific implants associated with the full range of spinal arthroplasties. Lavishly illustrated with high-quality surgical and anatomical art and images, this landmark text brings this exciting and innovative technology to the forefront of spinal surgery with authority and style!

Key Features

• Reviews motion-sparing devices in all areas of the anterior and posterior spine.
• Discusses history
• anatomy
• spinal imaging
• and the potential complications, including revision strategies for failed cervical or lumbar arthroplasties.
• Includes a DVD of narrated video clips detailing dynamic functional anatomy, surgical techniques, and the biomechanics of specific implant devices.
• Uses over 600 illustrations, images, and videos to display the devices and explain the ease and difficulties you may encounter in their application.
