Nontraumatic Cervical Myelopathy: Pathologies, Surgical Techniques, and Nuances
ISBN: 9781536172515 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The earliest human known to have the capability of walking erect on two legs is Sahelanphropus, who lived 6 million years ago.

In modern humans, the cervical spine holds the head upright and gives it great mobility. The combination of great mobility in this spinal segment combined with the requirement that it carry significant weight makes the cervical spine susceptible to a wide variety of pathologies. The cervical spine not only supports the head upright,...
