It provides a fundamental description of all lumbar spinal disorders, with an emphasis on the degenerative spine. The book includes information on topics such as disability assessment for insurance purposes, and low back pain in pregnancy, paediatrics and sports medicine. It also has a discussion and illustrations of degenerative and non-degenerative spine conditions.
