Spine Trauma

From the reviews: "This is a comprehensive yet concise overview of spine trauma. ... aimed at surgeons in training, beginning spine attendings, or surgeons who do not deal with trauma on a daily basis. ... What's unique about this book is that it manages to be concise but does not leave out pertinent details. The case examples are very useful, and the book takes a unique approach to delivering the information. ... This is a good reference and technique guide for those dealing with spine trauma."
