Book excerpt: The Manual of Cervical Spine Internal Fixation discusses contemporary surgical treatment of the cervical spine as presented by the internationally recognised neurosurgical and orthopaedic members of the Cervical Spine Study Group. The authors describe indications, contraindications, patient preparation and positioning, surgical techniques, and postoperative care for both anterior and posterior cervical procedures.
