The editors and contributors should be highly commended for this very valuable contribution in the literature of spinal pathology and its surgical treatment. The format of the book and also the content completely justify the designation as handbook. In a very concise way, the most relevant but also recently updated information is given about a very large amount of subjects. -- Acta NeurochirurgicaWith the breadth of readily available information and board-friendly questions, this is a great reference for those looking to quickly brush up on spine surgery topics, whether before a case, during a rotation or as part of comprehensive board preparation. -- YNC Newsletter (Young Neurosurgeons News)Handbook of Spine Surgery, Second Edition, is a completely updated and comprehensive reference that distills the basic principles of contemporary spine surgery. Its coverage of both principles and techniques makes it an excellent refresher before surgery or a valuable daily companion for residents and surgeons caring for patients with spinal disorders.Key Features of the Second Edition:New chapters on adult degenerative deformity, pediatric scoliosis and radiographic principles of deformityExpanded spinal trauma section now includes separate chapters on cervical, thoracolumbar, and sacropelvic injuriesCommon clinical questions (with answers) at the end of each chapter highlight topics frequently encountered in the operating room and on board examsEasy-to-read bulleted formatThe second edition of this handbook is the go-to guide for all those involved in spine surgery.

This book has become necessary as a consequence of the rapid expansion of the surgical procedures and implants available for spinal surgery within the "AO Group". We have not attempted to write an in-depth book on spinal surgery, but one which will help the surgeon in the use of AO concepts and implants. We con­ sider the practical courses held all over the world essential for the teaching of sound techniques so that technical complications and poor results can be avoid­ ed for both the surgeon and, in particular the patient. This book is a practical manual and an outline of what is taught in the courses. It is intended to help the young spinal surgeon to understand the correct use of AO implants. The indi- tions given will aid the correct use of each procedure. . It must be strongly emphasized that surgery of the spine is technically de­ manding. The techniques described in this book should only be undertaken by surgeons who are trained and experienced in spinal surgery. Certain techniques, in particular pedicle screw fIxation and cages, have not yet been fully approved by the FDA in the United States. However, throughout the rest of the world, the use of pedicle screws has become a standard technique for the spine surgeon, since it has been shown to improve fIxation techniques and allow segmental correction of the spine. The use of cages has become more and more popular, specifIcally as a tool of minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Currently, there is the highest level of evidence for physiotherapy and bracing for scoliosis. In contrast, evidence for spinal fusion surgery remains questionable. Moreover, recent improvements in bracing now strive to improve curvature rather than merely stopping progression during the pubertal growth spurt. Adolescent patients can potentially achieve significant corrections via bracing and improve postural imbalances. Pattern-specific exercises, based on long-established Schroth methodology, have also been updated. Used during phases of significant growth velocity, patients have potential for improvement without surgery. ‘Original Schroth’ exercises, developed by Katharina Schroth, were initially for curvatures in excess of 90º. Schroth Best Practice® simplifies the exercises so adolescents, as well as adults, of all curve magnitudes can benefit. The protocols include new additions with respect to the sagittal profile. Patients acquire a new sense of postural awareness and are able to help themselves by learning to avoid curve-stimulating behaviors.

Painstakingly handwritten over a three year period, Spring Will Come is the life story of William Zulu, highly acclaimed for his evocative art-works. Having contracted spinal TB as a baby, William underwent misplaced corrective surgery to his spine which left him paralyzed and permanently wheelchair bound. It recounts with zest and humor the events of his life, his unfolding artistic development and the world of deep rural Africa in which he is rooted. His artist's eye paints in the details of his world with vivid observation. Weaving through the personal narrative is a strong political consciousness that sketches the fortunes of a country in violent transition, wracked by the ethnic rivalries that overshadowed every aspect of black life in the 1980s. Zulu conveys the unrelenting hardship of rural life and offers a fascinating window to the world of traditional Africa-with all its superstition, patriarchal rigidity and prejudices on the one hand, and its humor, shrewd observance and innovative survival strategies on the other.

For the Butters family, the punch that knocked the wind out of their lungs was a diagnosis of severe idiopathic scoliosis for their twelve-year-old daughter, Avery. The only viable treatment option was spinal fusion surgery. It was a terrifying prospect to stare down, and one that even after several months of appointments, research, and internet searches did not yield much information about what they could expect. Four months after they knew that surgery was in Avery’s future, and frustrated with the lack of information on what the family would actually experience, Avery’s mother, Jodi, started a family blog.  It was there that Avery, Jodi, and Andrew would share their thoughts and experiences about the journey in real time—or as close to real time as they could get. Jodi was determined that if there were other families searching for this information, they would be able to provide it. When it was all said and done and the blog came to its rightful conclusion, the writer in Andrew couldn’t leave it alone. If the blog was so successful at spreading the message, then surely there were other ways to help spread the word. Surely there were experiences they lived through that taught them lessons that applied beyond Avery’s scoliosis. Surely there was a bigger story to tell.  Bent But Not Broken is a heartfelt journey of a girl and her family as they navigate the healthcare system from diagnosis to surgery and beyond. Follow them as they use their own words in blog posts and through an emotional and gripping narrative that puts you by their side through all the ups and downs, challenges and successes, of an experience that changed their lives and taught them that compassion and love builds strong communities, even stronger families, and that true strength comes from the most unlikely sources.

Written by Matt Roloff, the star of TLC's hit reality show "Little People, Big World," Little Lucy, Big Race shares that we all have potential and are special in our own little way. In 2016, Roloff underwent major spinal surgery. During his recovery in the hospital, he was inspired to write a children's book about hope and overcoming adversity. With time on his hands and after a great deal of personal reflection, Roloff was reminded of his childhood spent in hospitals and how important faith, encouragement, positivity, and hope were to him at that time. He was further inspired by the exciting news that he would soon become a grandfather. Roloff's little dog, Lucy, was the perfect character to bring his story to life. Little Lucy, Big Race is based on Lucy, Matt's energetic, fun-loving dog who was adopted and born the smallest of her litter. True to the story, Lucy started off shy and has since come out of her shell loving the freedom of wide open spaces. Despite her small size, little Lucy continues to be the fastest critter on the farm. Her story will inspire readers of all ages! This book is dedicated to Roloff's first grandson, Jackson.For more than a decade, Matt and his family have entertained millions of fans all over the world through "Little People, Big World." His inspiring and motivating spirit are evident on every page of this heartfelt book.
