Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are two new procedures introduced in the past five years to treat pain from osteoporotic compression fractures. These procedures are carried out by neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and interventional radiologists - and the popularity of these procedures is growing. Because vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were introduced recently, there is little information available on them. This book will fill this gap in literature.

Written by the world's best known spine surgeons, this volume of our Orthopaedic Surgery Essentials Series presents all the information residents need during spine surgery rotations. It can easily be read cover to cover during a rotation or used for quick reference before a patient workup or operation. The user-friendly, visually stimulating format features ample illustrations, algorithms, bulleted lists, charts, and tables. Coverage begins with diagnostics and proceeds to specific disorders--trauma, infections, tumors, degenerative disorders, deformity, inflammatory disorders, sports injuries, and osteoporosis. Subsequent chapters cover nonsurgical treatments and surgical procedures. Concluding chapters cover pain, bone grafting, biomechanics, and outcomes assessment.
