In the eight years since the first edition of this book several
marvelous technical advances have become available clinically for
the care of patients with "failed back syndromes. " High resolution
MRI scans, three dimension al CT scans, and percutaneous discectomy
are notable technological ad vances. Overall, however, the problem
of "the failed back" remains as complex and poorly understood as
ever. A discouraging amount of what we claim to be our knowledge of
the pathophysiology and appropriate therapy for the complex of
disorders that constitute the failed back syndrome re mains
unvalidated by careful scientific study. 1 The discussions of patho
physiology, diagnosis, and therapy put forth in the first edition
for the most part remain equally as valid or as controversial as
they were eight years ago. The first edition was well received by
numerous physicians and other health care givers from a variety of
disciplines and through them the book seems to have contributed
usefully to many of those who suffer the unpleasant mal adies of
"the failed back. " I hope this second edition will likewise prove
to be a positive contribution. The timing of the publication of
this second edition is significant in several ways in the context
of the current medicolegal climate in the United States."
