The definitive guide to putting spinal cord injury research into practiceEssentials of Spinal Cord Injury is written for the spinal cord injury (SCI) team and reflects the multidisciplinary nature of treating patients with SCI. It integrates emerging medical and surgical approaches to SCI with neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, neuroplasticity, and cellular transplantation. This comprehensive yet concise reference will enable neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and allied health professionals caring for SCI patients to translate research results into patient care. It is also an excellent resource for those preparing for the board exam in SCI medicine.Key Features: Material is cross-referenced to highlight relationships between the different areas of SCI Chapters are concise, focused, and include key points, pearls, and pitfalls An Overview of the Literature table is provided in most chapters, giving readers a meaningful distillation of each publication referenced Each editor is a world-renowned expert in one of these core disciplines involved in the management of SCI patients: neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, spinal cord science, and rehabilitative medicineThis is a must-have guide that all neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and allied health professionals involved in the care of spinal cord injury patients should have on their bookshelf.

Reader-friendly, question and answer review of spine stabilization biomechanics honors original tomeSelf-assessment and review of both old and new techniques facilitates comprehensive understanding of principles that underlie spine stabilization biomechanics. Biomechanics of Spine Stabilization: Self-Assessment and Review edited by renowned spine surgeons Maxwell Boakye, Edward Benzel, Zoher Ghogawala, Darrel S. Brodke, and Jens R. Chapman emphasizes core topics from Biomechanics of Spine Stabilization. First published in 1995, with a third edition in 2015, this widely acclaimed textbook by Edward Benzel is considered the "bible" of biomechanics of spine stabilization.Organized in nine sections and 39 chapters, this practical learning tool is designed to inform and make biomechanics routinely and practically accessible in clinical spine practice. The book starts with an overview of fundamental concepts, followed by two sections on spine and neural pathology and spine surgery. Sections 4-6 test knowledge of spine instrumentation general principles; regional considerations; and deformity, management, and prevention. Sections 7-8 cover iatrogenic pathologies, the latest spine surgery techniques and technologies, and non-operative spine stabilization. The book concludes with a final section on putting biomechanical concepts into practice.Key Features Written by a who's who of internationally acclaimed spine surgeons and professorsSystemic chapter layout features brief learning objectives, followed by questions and answersSuccinct, easily-digestible format provides a quick review, thereby promoting quick acquisition and retention of knowledgeThis indispensable resource will help spine residents, fellows, and orthopaedic and neurosurgical spine surgeons better understand clinically important biomechanical principles that underpin spinal surgery and instrumentation, thereby enhancing evidence-based decision making.This print book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.Publisher's Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality, authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.
