Textbook in PDF format
This book offers a clinical and surgical overview on congenital spine malformations, which are abnormalities that occur during fetal development, leading to structural issues in the spine. The fetal spine begins to develop shortly after conception and continues to grow throughout pregnancy. This book covers the various congenital spine malformations, their aetiologies and development, diagnosis and management.
Since many of these disorders are rare, they do not have a final cure and their management is important - their consequences on the physical, psychological and developmental condition of the patient are massive.
This book is of interest to orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and pediatric specialists - the team who take care of the surgical management of congenital spine malformations.
