World-renowned experts share the latest updates in translational
research as well as surgical and nonsurgical strategies for
treating spinal cord injury Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a
devastating, clinically challenging injury, leading to varying
degrees of neurological function impairment and paralysis.
Underlying biological mechanisms either inhibit or promote new
growth in the spinal cord. Researchers have been making important
discoveries about how neurons and their axons grow in the central
nervous system and why they fail to regenerate after SCI. Although
progress has been steady, there remains an urgent need to address
issues in acute management such as early decompression and the use
of biologics, as well as potential solutions for regeneration.
Written by renowned experts in the ever-evolving field of SCI
research and clinical practice, the 7th volume in the AOSpine
Masters series is a state-of-the-art compendium on the latest in
SCI diagnosis, spine surgery interventions, and long-term
management. Each chapter contains pearls from leading spine
specialists gleaned from the research laboratory and years of
hands-on experience treating SCI patients in the emergency setting
and long term. Key Features: Pathobiology, assessment, and
diagnostic considerations The use of biomarkers as predictors of
functional recovery Surgical and nonsurgical interventions for
traumatic SCI The role of neural stem cells and biologics in spinal
cord repair Functional and epidural stimulation and brain-computer
interfaces The AOSpine Masters series, a copublication of Thieme
and the AOSpine Foundation, addresses current clinical issues
featuring international masters sharing their expertise in the core
areas in the field. The goal of the series is to contribute to an
evolving, dynamic model of evidence-based approach to spine care.
This essential textbook delivers invaluable insights to spine
surgeons, spinal cord injury clinicians and researchers and
trainees, from translational researchers to experienced researchers
and clinicians experienced in the operative and non-operative
management of spinal cord injury.
