Adult Degenerative Scoliosis

Concise guide to Adult Degenerative Scoliosis for Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery specialists. Edited by internationally recognised authors.

Degenerative scoliosis describes a side-to-side curvature of the spine caused by degeneration of joints between the vertebrae. The condition occurs most frequently in people over 65 years of age (spine-health.com). An aging world population and an increase in spinal deformities make this a rapidly expanding field.

Consisting of three sections, the book provides an overview of lumbar degenerative scoliosis, the indications for treatment and surgical planning and finally, discussion on the available surgical techniques, with authoritative commentary on the experiences of leading surgeons.

Written by world renowned experts, this book combines the expertise of both Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery specialists, providing insight into optimal treatment and patient outcomes.
