A comprehensive new guide from Bentham Science breaks down the complexities of spinal biomechanics to support the next generation of spine surgeons.
Spinal Surgery Biomechanics: Principles for Residents is a focused exploration of the core biomechanical concepts essential for mastering spinal surgical procedures. The book guides readers through foundational principles and clinical applications of modern spinal surgery such as pedicle screw anchorage, lumbar disc replacement, interbody fusion, and surgical management in osteoporotic patients.
Using accessible language and deep clinical context, the book also provides insights into areas such as implant selection, motion-preserving technologies, and stabilization strategies. Up-to-date references and surgical considerations make this volume a valuable companion for anyone beginning their journey in spinal care
The book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a biomechanical framework that supports surgical planning, patient safety, and long-term outcomes for medical students, residents, and early-career researchers.
