Explore the debate between fusion and motion preservation—and the anatomy, biomechanics, devices, and surgical approaches behind spinal arthroplasty. This 791-page reference by James J. Yue, published in 2008, covers cervical and lumbar strategies, clinical outcomes, complications, and revision procedures to support focused study of motion-sparing spine surgery.
What you'll learn
- Compare fusion and non-fusion strategies for symptomatic cervical and lumbar degenerative disc disease, with historical context for both spinal fusion and motion-sparing surgery.
- Strengthen your foundational understanding of cervical and lumbar anatomy, spinal biomechanics, imaging of disc and facet degeneration, and biomaterials in spinal arthroplasty.
- Explore arthroplasty indications and approaches alongside the biomechanics, design considerations, and clinical outcomes of cervical and lumbar disc replacement.
- Examine motion-preserving technologies, including anular repair, intradiscal treatment, nucleus pulposus replacement, facet arthroplasty, dynamic rodding, and dynamic stenosis management.
- Study complications and revision strategies for failed cervical and lumbar arthroplasty, together with retrieval analysis of arthroplasty devices.
Who this is for
For spine surgeons, orthopedic and neurosurgical trainees, and clinicians or researchers studying spinal arthroplasty and motion-preserving procedures. Its coverage is particularly relevant to readers seeking a 2008 reference on the principles, device designs, and clinical considerations of cervical and lumbar motion-sparing surgery.
