The "Bone and Joint Decade" draws our attention with increased intensity to the problem of the changes related to aging of our musculoskeletal system and the associated socioeconomic implications. In view of the increasing age of the worldwide population the impact seems to be tremendous. The editors of The Aging Spine pick up this interesting topic and engage opinion leaders to contribute their knowledge in this supplement. The various contributions cover most of the important problems, which are included in the vast specter of aging spine: osteoporosis, spinal stenosis, and tumors of the spine. The aging spine will be an everpresent issue in the life of a physician taking care of the different pathologies of the spine. This text will help to better understand the nature of the different changes in the spine of the elderly. It contributes to enabling us to diagnose and to treat this complex problem in an appropriate way.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Aging Spine (Paperback)
I actually bought this because I was having to consider surgery on my cervical spine for relief of bad radicular and myeolpathy secondary to a large disc herniation. This book, which has mostly European authors spoke about these and othe spinal problems with more honesty, facts, studies, and authority than any neurologist or neurosrgeon I had ever met in California or Louisiana. It described the surgical approaches and for both anterior a posterior discectomy, pros and cons, and when to operate and when to leave alone. There are also excellent chapters on on spinal anatomy and pathology and metabolic bone disease. An excellent read for any physician or advanced practitioner.
