This book has become necessary as a consequence of the rapid
expansion of the surgical procedures and implants available for
spinal surgery within the "AO Group". We have not attempted to
write an in-depth book on spinal surgery, but one which will help
the surgeon in the use of AO concepts and implants. We con sider
the practical courses held all over the world essential for the
teaching of sound techniques so that technical complications and
poor results can be avoid ed for both the surgeon and, in
particular the patient. This book is a practical manual and an
outline of what is taught in the courses. It is intended to help
the young spinal surgeon to understand the correct use of AO
implants. The indi- tions given will aid the correct use of each
procedure. . It must be strongly emphasized that surgery of the
spine is technically de manding. The techniques described in this
book should only be undertaken by surgeons who are trained and
experienced in spinal surgery. Certain techniques, in particular
pedicle screw fIxation and cages, have not yet been fully approved
by the FDA in the United States. However, throughout the rest of
the world, the use of pedicle screws has become a standard
technique for the spine surgeon, since it has been shown to improve
fIxation techniques and allow segmental correction of the spine.
The use of cages has become more and more popular, specifIcally as
a tool of minimally invasive spinal surgery.
