Modern Anterior Scoliosis Surgery 2DVD Include

The many advantages of the anterior approach to scoliosis
surgery뾦mproved spine mobilization, fusion of fewer segments,
faster patient recovery, improved cosmetics뾥ave become more
evident as its key proponents have continued to refine their
methods. Modern Anterior Scoliosis Surgery, written by leading
practitioners, is the first comprehensive volume dedicated
exclusively to this approach, with its many variations and
modifications.

This definitive text provides a complete overview of all
preliminary considerations, including the biomechanics of
scoliosis and of anterior column support; spinal cord
monitoring; pulmonary considerations; complications in adult and
adolescent idiopathics; performance measures; and a new method
of idiopathic curve classification.Both adult and pediatric
issues are identifies and discussed as well as pathologic
conditions. Numerous technical diagrams and drawings demonstrate
surgical techniques, guidinghte surgeon step-by-step through
each procedure. Minimally invasice methods are also fully
covered.

Clearly written, well illustrated chapters address the entire
range of anterior approaches and, where appropriate, evaluate
any option of the posterior approach. All current operative
procedures are described in full, including those employing the
following instrumentation systems: Zielke threaded rod (thoracic
and thoracolumbar/lumbar applications); Moss-Miami single solid
rod; TSRH single solid rod; CD horizon single solid rod; Halm-
Zielke combined threaded and solid rod; Kaneda dual solid rod
(KASS); and others.

Modern Anterior Scoliosis Surgery will hold a unique place in
the contemporary library of spine surgery.
