The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 01-SEP-04, Volume 86, Issue 9, Ronald L. DeWald, MD, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL -- "I have no negative comments about this textbook...This handsome, two-volume set should be in the library of all serious students of the spine..." "Someday, when the credentialing of spine surgeons becomes necessary, this book and others like it will provide surgeons with the vital, core knowledge needed for the treatment of spinal disease."--The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
