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.

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.
