- Comprehensive, updated review of current non-operative and operative techniques to manage spondylolisthesis
- Includes discussion of the latest tips, tricks and minimally invasive techniques for pediatric and adult patients
- Written and edited by experts in the field
Now in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this comprehensive text remains the definitive source for information related to the care of adult and pediatric patients with spondylolisthesis.
It presents a complete analysis of this common yet intricate spinal condition, including basic science, diagnosis, non-surgical management, surgical techniques (including minimally invasive options and biologics) and outcomes.
The management of the various types of spondylolisthesis requires a thorough understanding of both fundamental principles and subtle nuances, which are highlighted here in three sections. Part I details the basic principles, diagnosis and non-surgical management of spondylolisthesis, including anatomy and biomechanics, clinical evaluation of both adult and pediatric patients, and imaging and classification. Part II covers surgical management with a step-by-step discussion of strategies, techniques and tips that are necessary to apply standard procedures to this specific disorder. Procedures that are covered here include decompression, spinal fusion from various approaches, and the latest minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques. Part III discusses the outcomes and complications of surgical treatment, as well as interoperative neuro-monitoring and value considerations.
Written and edited by top clinicians in the field, Spondylolisthesis remains an invaluable resource for orthopedic and neurological spine surgeons, rehabilitation physicians, residents, fellows, and any caregiver who treats the spine.
