Rothman-Simeone The Spine helps you achieve optimal outcomes in the clinical practice of spine surgery in adults and
children. Drs. Harry N. Herkowitz, Steven R. Garfin, Frank J. Eismont, Gordon R. Bell, Richard Balderston, and an
internationally diverse group of authorities help you keep up with the fast-paced field and get the best results from
state-of-the-art treatments and surgical techniques, such as spinal arthroplasty and the latest spinal implants and
equipment. An all-new full-color design and surgical videos on DVD and online at www.expertconsult.com make this
classic text more invaluable than ever before.
