Comparative Management of Spine Pathology

Unique in the field, Comparative Management of Spine Pathology presents commonly encountered spinal cases with side-by-side, case-by-case comparisons that clearly show how various experts would handle the same case. This second volume in the Neurosurgery: Case Management Comparison Series offers multiple opinions from international experts in both neurosurgery and orthopaedics, each of whom explains their preferred approach and management style for the same case. This format allows for quick and helpful comparisons of different ways to approach a lesion, advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and what each expert is looking for in how they would manage a particular case. INDICE: Degenerative spine Cervical One level cervical radiculopathy from facet/uncovertebral joint hypertrophy One level cervical radiculopathy from herniated disc in young patient One level cervical radiculopathy from herniated disc in older patient Cervical stenosis with preservation of lordosis Adjacent segment disease after single level ACDF Adjacent segment disease after PCF (cervicothoracic junction) Multilevel cervical stenosis from OPLL Multilevel cervical stenosis from 3-4 discs Anterior C1-2 pannus Basilar impression Thoracolumbar Adjacent segment disease at thoracolumbar junction Thoracic calcified disc (central) Lower thoracic disc herniation High lumbar stenosis (thoracolumbar junction) Lumbosacral Single level disc disease with back pain Radiculopathy from foraminal stenosis Grade 1 spondy without instability on flex/ext and claudication Grade 1 spondy with back pain only Grade 2/3 spondy >Grade 3 spondy Second herniated disc (same level) in a young patient Second herniated disc (same level) in older patient Flat back syndrome after laminectomy Lumbar pseudoarthrosis at L5-S1 Pure back pain with multi level degenerative disc disease 2.
