An invaluable primer on the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of
aging patients with spine conditions The growing population of
people aged 65 and older has significant implications for health
care systems and spine care providers. Older patients today demand
interventions that enable them to return to a functional lifestyle.
Treatment of degenerative spine disease in aging adults requires
in-depth understanding of changes in physiology, biomechanics,
function, and modifiable risk factors. Equally important, providers
need to listen to patients, diagnose thoughtfully, learn about the
person's goals, and teach them in plain language about the risks,
alternatives, and expectations of treatment options. This
foundation is critical to developing informed patient-centered
treatment plans to improve outcomes. Spine Surgery in an Aging
Population by Nathaniel Brooks, Andrea Strayer, and a cadre of
global contributors reflects a rich array of expertise. With
multidisciplinary contributions from renowned specialists in
neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, geriatrics, and rehabilitation,
the book provides invaluable insights on caring for aging adults
with degenerative spine disease. Throughout 21 chapters, readers
are provided with key concepts, expert knowledge, and effective
management strategies to avoid complications and improve outcomes
for older adult spine patients. Key Highlights Diagnosis and
