A concise guide to diagnostic spine exams!Thieme congratulates Todd Albert on being chosen by New York magazine for its prestigious ‘Best Doctors 2017' list.Written by world-renowned spine surgery experts, this definitive text elucidates the importance of obtaining a thorough medical history and performing a physical exam for a full spectrum of spine conditions. There have been significant advancements in minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques since publication of the last edition. However, spine evaluations will always be imperative to clinical practice. These exams reveal a myriad of clues that help spine specialists make a differential diagnosis for a wide array of pathologies.This book is a clear, concise "how to" guide on conducting physical examinations of the spine. The text begins with a methodical review of fundamentals including basic anatomy and neurology; sensation, muscle, and reflex tests; and classification systems. Subsequent chapters succinctly delineate why the spinal exam is an integral component of neurosurgical, neurological, orthopaedic, and chiropractic exams.Key Highlights:The updated edition features a wealth of beautiful, full-color line drawingsA systematic, step-by-step guide on spine examination techniques organized by anatomy - from the cervical spine to the lumbar spineThorough discussion of motor, sensory, reflex techniques, and special tests provides a greater understanding of how to examine the spineExpanded sections on thoracic spine pathologies and deformitiesUp-to-date and comprehensive, this book is essential reading for trainee and practicing orthopaedic surgeons and neurosurgeons who perform spine tests in daily practice. It is also a terrific resource for neurologists, physical therapists, and allied health professionals who frequently treat patients for back and neck pain.

Master spine surgeons Todd Albert and Alexander Vaccaro update essential spine textbook with expanded sections and full-color illustrations

A unique how-to guide for spine surgeons on state-of-the-art computer-assisted navigation and robotic surgery techniques
The past decade has seen major advances in image-guided spine surgery techniques, with robotically assisted approaches emerging in the last five years. While early adopters of this technology paved the way for more widespread use of navigated and robotic systems, barriers still exist. Navigation and Robotics in Spine Surgery by master spine surgeon Alexander Vaccaro and esteemed co-editors Jaykar Panchmatia, I. David Kaye, and Srinivas Prasad addresses existing issues such as the perception of increased upfront costs, intrusion on current workflow, and a lack of understanding about the potential ways these technologies can enhance the surgical experience and improve patient outcomes.
Organized into six sections, the book starts with evidence-based fundamentals of navigated spine surgery and robotics including discussion of instrumentation and mechanics. Sections 2-5 serve as a surgical handbook for spine surgeons who wish to introduce these technologies into practice or augment their current repertoire with more complex techniques. Topics range from more routine procedures such as navigated and robotic minimally invasive TLIF to complex approaches like intraoperative ultrasound guided intradural spinal tumor resection. The final section looks at future directions and potential new applications for these technologies.
Key Highlights
<ul>
<li>An impressive group of international spine surgeons who pioneered navigation and robotic surgery techniques share invaluable tricks of the trade</li>
<li>Discussion of fluoroscopy- and intraoperative CT-based platforms, applications for intraoperative sonography, and radiation exposure and minimization strategies</li>
<li>Special topics include OR set-up and workflow, surmounting the learning curve, artificial intelligence, and lessons learned from other industries</li>
<li>Procedural videos demonstrate the benefits of computer-assisted navigation and robotic techniques</li>
</ul>
This book is essential reading for orthopaedic surgery and neurosurgery residents and spine fellows who wish to learn about and incorporate these technologies into practice. Seasoned spine surgeons seeking to expand the scope of their navigated/robotic practice will benefit from chapters detailing advanced approaches.
This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
