Low back pain is a very common problem that is increasingly
being treated surgically. This book aims to evaluate carefully the
possible surgical approaches to low back pain, with detailed
appraisal of the factors leading to their success or failure. It
begins by explaining the scientific basis for surgery and
considering the different diagnostic techniques that may be
employed, thereby elucidating the surgical rationale, indications,
and contraindications. The value of conservative options is also
assessed to help the reader weigh the need for surgery. The various
surgical modalities, including the most recent, are then fully
described and evaluated with the aid of numerous illustrations. The
book concludes with a chapter devoted to evidence-based analysis of
the outcome of surgery in patients with low back pain. This book
will be invaluable to orthopaedic and neurosurgeons,
rheumatologists, neurologists, and all who are concerned with the
effective treatment of this often debilitating condition.
