- Summary:
- Biomechanics of Spine Stabilization bridges the gap that has existed between the physics of biomechanical research and the clinical arena. The book helps surgeons to plan treatments for the injured spine based on sound biomechanical principles -- principles that will influence the surgeon's choice for the surgical approach, type of fusion, and type of instrumentation. Biomechanics of Spine Stabilization begins with the essentials, proceeds gradually toward the development of an understanding of biomechanical principles, and finally, provides a basis for clinical decision-making. These features make it a cover-to-cover "must-read" for anyone who is involved with the care of a patient with an unstable spine.
