Excerpt

A wealth of informative studies appeared in the European Spine Journal in 2007. As usual, most of them are surgically oriented. They will be covered by my friend and colleague, Robert Mulholland. I have selected the articles which primarily interest the non surgically-oriented reader as well as researchers in the field of spinal pathology. It is also evident that all practitioners involved in the care of patients with spinal diseases must be aware of the surgical news and vice versa. …
