Reviews

It is directed toward residents and practicing clinicians in physical therapy, rehabilitation, rheumatology, and spine surgery. The book serves as an important source of information for these groups and fills an important niche. ... This book has clearly met the need for a single source of all things spinal. The excellent writing and diagrams lend to material that is clear and effective. The book fulfills the niche needs of the spinal anatomy, comparative and human, and various spinal surgical pathologies. (Brian R. MacPherson, Doody's Book Reviews, September 4, 2020)
