Intervertebral Fusion Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Implants provides surgeons with thorough and practical information they need to skillfully use CFRP devices in their practices. It is the first comprehensive work on the subject written by the developer, Dr. John Brantigan, and by Dr. Carl Lauryssen. They have assembled a group of preeminent orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons from around the world who present data supporting the use of CFRP implants for interbody fusion as a safe and effective treatment for spinal pathologies requiring anterior column reconstruction of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine.
This beautiful semi-atlas is organized into six parts. The book opens with a thorough review of clinical fundamentals and in Part II widens in scope to a detailed discussion of the implants and results. Each implant is clearly described and clinical results are presented. Marca: THIEME PUBLISHERS INC/MAPLE PRESS
