by Jürgen Harms, Giuseppe Tabasso, Rocco Cinanni

This text describes the use of modular spinal implants in the treatment of fractures, tumors, post-traumatic kyphosis, spondylolistheses, infection and degeneration of the spine. An introductory section describes the biomechanical properties of the spine. Further sections of the book show how spinal implants work in conjunction with these properties. A comprehensive section presents actual cases, with before-and-after radiographs, showing the entire range of applications of these implants.
