About this book
Reviews
“This book covers the important, fascinating, and controversial subject of degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine. … The editors and authors do a wonderful job putting together a precise review of the literature on an evolving topic. It is extremely important for spine surgeons of all levels to learn new techniques and stay current on the concepts involved in arguably the most common problem we encounter every day: patients with back pain.” (Fernando Techy, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
