About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This monograph is about the anatomy, surgical pathology, neurosurgical approaches, and relationship to the occiput. I recommend this book for orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and all physicians interested in surgery of the upper spine. … This is a pearl for those interested in anatomy and surgical management. I recommend this book to trauma specialists, ENT surgeons, and neurosurgeons alike.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, May, 2014)
