Description:
Learn about an integrated approach in caring for patients with spine trauma, as well as a new evaluation of the relationship of spinal trauma and survival. Hear new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of thoraco-lumbar spine injuries with a bending injury mechanism (flexion-distraction injuries). Review the complex care needs of patients who suffer from a spine injury as well as conditions which lead to a stiffening of the spinal column, such as ankylosing spondyliti’, disseminated idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and endstage degenerative disc disease with ankylosis.
