Clinical Anatomy of the Lumbar Spine and Sacrum 4th, 2005

The  timing  of this  fourth  edition  is  perfect, for now we  have  reached  the  age  of  'minimally  invasive' procedures  used  to  treat  pain generators  of  the  spine. Chapters  on  disc  pain  and  posterior  element pain stress  not  only  the  anatomy  of  these  structures  but  also  review  the  pathophysiology  of  the degenerative process  and  its  relationship  to  pain.  More importantly.  these chapters stress what biomechanical changes  may  occur  as  a  result  of  doing  destructive procedures. After  reading  the fourth edition  in  preparing  to write  this  Foreword,  1  a,m  humbled  by  how  much 1 have learned (or  how much I  have forgotten)  about the basic  anatomy  and  biomechanics  of  the  lumbar  spine and  sacrum.  I found  myself  learning  and  relearning many  things  I  could  apply  on  a  daily  basis  to  my practice of spinal interventions  and pain management.
