“Overall, Essentials of Spinal Cord Injury: 
Basic Research to Clinical Practice is an excellent compendium and reference 
that provides the most complete coverage of all clinical, preclinical, 
management, and research aspects of SCI in a single attractive volume.” — 
American Journal of Neuroradiology 

Essentials of Spinal Cord Injury is written for the spinal cord 
injury (SCI) team and reflects the multidisciplinary nature of treating patients 
with SCI. It integrates emerging medical and surgical approaches to SCI with 
neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, neuroplasticity, and cellular 
transplantation. This comprehensive yet concise reference will enable 
neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and allied health 
professionals caring for SCI patients to translate research results into patient 
care. It is also an excellent resource for those preparing for the board exam in 
SCI medicine.

Key Features:

• Material is 
  cross-referenced to highlight relationships between the different areas of 
  SCI
• Chapters are concise, focused, and include key points, pearls, and 
  pitfalls
• An Overview of the Literature table is provided in most 
  chapters, giving readers a meaningful distillation of each publication 
  referenced
• Each editor is a world-renowned expert in one of these 
  core disciplines involved in the management of SCI patients: neurosurgery, 
  orthopedic surgery, spinal cord science, and rehabilitative medicine

This is 
a must-have guide that all neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and 
allied health professionals involved in the care of spinal cord injury patients 
should have on their bookshelf.
