The book is divided into five parts and 40 chapters, covering general introduction, cervical and lumbosacral spine disorders, spinal cord injuries, and other topics. In the general introduction section, in addition to spinal anatomy and biomechanics, it provides a detailed introduction to the diagnostic foundations of spinal injuries and the localization diagnosis of spinal cord damage, which is crucial for beginners. In the two sections on cervical and lumbosacral spine disorders, it elaborates on various common conditions in detail, and also covers less common disorders, serving as a reference for clinicians. Although the section on spinal cord injuries has only six chapters, its content is quite comprehensive. The fifth part gathers topics that do not belong to the previous four sections. Due to the abundance of content, it appears somewhat disorganized. The book generally follows the principle of one chapter per topic, but some more extensive subjects are divided into two chapters to balance the length of each section. The book strives to be comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical, encompassing all aspects of spinal surgery in its content and aligning its diagnostic and treatment techniques with international standards. In fact, our clinical technology levels are not inferior to those of advanced Western countries, which is also the reason why the book is primarily written by domestic experts. To facilitate young readers in mastering the content, the book uses clear and accessible language, emphasizes illustrations alongside text, and presents information in an easy-to-understand manner, thereby aiding clinical work and benefiting a broad range of spinal injury patients.
