This reference offers advice and opinions on tough clinical questions commonly associated with the spine. The Q&A format features chapters built around detailed case studies, such as "I have a 65-year-old female who fell and suffered a central cord syndrome. What's her prognosis and are there other types of incomplete spinal cord syndromes?" Information is basic enough for residents, while also incorporating advice that even experienced clinicians can use. Numerous b&w images and illustrations are included. The readership for the book includes orthopedic spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopedic and neurosurgical residents, and medical students. Singh teaches in the Division of Spine Surgery at Rush University Medical Center.
