Clinical Biomechanics of the Spine

In this second edition, there are detailed scientific analyses of the
various spinal implants and arthrodeses (both anterior and posterior).
These analyses are based on a thorough review of the literature and on
basic research in the laboratory. This text is unique because of the
special collaborative contribution of superb biomechanical studies
from the basic scientist, Dr. Panjabi. This collaboration has resulted in
a much greater understanding of the indications and techniques used
in spine surgery. Ultimately, the efficacy and durability of these new
techniques must also be judged by the clinical results in the patient,
with a careful analysis of long-term results.
Philosophically, this magnificent text is a testimony to Dr. White’s
methodical, academic, and inquisitive mind; but, more than that, it is
evidence of his energy, honesty, and integrity as an academic orthopedic surgeon.
The second edition of Clinical Biomechanics of the Spine will,
without a doubt, serve as a major reference and teaching text for those
clinicians who treat a wide variety of spinal disorders.
