Orthopaedic Neurology: A Diagnostic Guide to Neurologic Levels is a comprehensive guide that has been widely sought after by professionals and trainees in various medical fields. This second edition retains the standard of excellence while providing thorough updates in medical illustration, teaching techniques, and new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with spinal cord injuries. It offers a distinctive and practical combination of anatomy, the physical exam, and clinical pearls, highly readable and abundantly illustrated.

Key Features:

• Discusses the diagnosis of neurologic levels according to common denominators, and combines them with the basic principles of neurology to assist in the appraisal of spinal cord and nerve root problems.
• Classic original drawings now carefully colorized for optimal visual reference, and additional drawings added as necessary.
• Corresponding radiographic imaging techniques (predominantly MRI and CT) have also been added.
• Each chapter first covers basic neurologic information, then provides clinical significance by applying it to the diagnosis of the more common neurologic pathologies.

Ideal for: Those who wish to understand more clearly the clinical concepts behind neurologic levels, moving systematically from concept to practice, and from general rules to specific applications.
