Degenerative spine disease

Pain in the lumbar spine is one of the diseases with a very high incidence. Patients with these pains very often visit a number of doctors of different disciplines over time in the hope of finding help. The present monograph therefore provides a comprehensive view of this issue. The editor deliberately asked for expert thematic contributions from representatives of all interested medical specialties. The high incidence of lumbar spine pain confirms that it is not only a medical but also a socio-economic problem worldwide. Moreover, the results of treatment are not as clear-cut as in the case of most other anatomical areas of the musculoskeletal system and are also accompanied by a higher percentage of complications. The monograph is intended for orthopaedists, surgeons and traumatologists, as well as diagnosticians, neurologists and physiotherapists working on musculoskeletal injuries.
