Mastering Pediatric Spinal Deformity: A Practical Guide

Menger, Richard P.; Iyer, Rajiv R.; Vitale, Michael G.; Lenke, Lawrence G.

This practical, user-friendly guide is designed for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons with an interest in pediatric spinal deformity. While multiple definitive, high-density textbooks exist in this field, this book is formatted as a concise, tactical resource.

Chapters emphasize tangible clinical take-home points, with deeper references provided for further exploration. The text assumes a working knowledge of spine surgery fundamentals and serves as a practical guide to treating children with spinal pathologies. It highlights unique considerations in pediatric spine surgery, technical nuances, pathology, technology and systems-based care. Chapters are primarily bulleted to deliver quick, high-yield information on preoperative, operative and postoperative considerations, as well as potential complications—supported by ample radiography and intraoperative photographs.

The book concludes with a Masters' Series, in which leading experts provide step-by-step explanations of their approaches to both typical and complex cases.
