Video: Lumbar Spinal Fusion for Fracture

Actual Lumbar Spinal Fusion

Although the background of this patient is not revealed in the Video it is clearly a trauma as there is discussion of a fracture and whether the patient will regain use of his legs. I am showing this video so those who have not seen spinal surgery can get a “feel” for just how it’s done and the tools that are used. Warning to those with a weak stomach; this is very graphic. Note the use of force and the instruments used to place the rods and bone grafts.

Why Amazon? Because Amazon has all the most quoted books. I visit a lot of medical forums and many books are often quoted or suggested. I always go to Amazon First because they almost always have the book, and for their reader opinions and reviews. You get to see exactly what other people like you think of a book - people that have actually read the book. In addition they do a great job of linking to similar titles so you can see if there is another book that may be more suited to your needs. This saves you the agony of making a bad purchasing decision.
