Opis

This work provides the reader with a comprehensive study of the cervical spine in children and young adults. Written by Leonard Swischuk, the book presents normal anatomy and embryology, especially as it is relevant to trauma, normal variations and congenital anomalies. The second part of the book deals with trauma, focusing on a systematic accounting of the various injuries encountered and each explained in terms of the mechanism of the injury. Emphasis is placed on plain films since this is the most important study for the cervical spine. CT and MRI are used to amplify findings. A resource for anyone dealing with the cervical spine.
