Lenke (scoliosis and spinal reconstructive surgery, Washington University School of Medicine) and a group of expert contributors provide clinical information on scoliosis surgery for a broad audience of professionals. The book begins with detailed chapters on spinal biomechanics, curve classification, radiographic scoring, and patient medical considerations. Clinical applications are then addressed in sections on surgical approaches and operative procedures, with attention given to instrumentation systems and techniques and to minimally invasive approaches. A section on treatment of other pathologic conditions, such as juvenile scoliosis and cerebral palsy, is also included. A final section looks at emerging developments in the field. Color surgical photos and b&w diagnostic images are included. Annotation ?2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
