Luiz Vialle comments: “The original idea about this series was to find, within renowned experts, the best approach for diagnosis and treatment of different spinal pathologies. Now that we have finished the series, I think we have fulfilled our goals: we have gathered up-to-date information and expert opinions on several spine pathologies, with the contribution of an international board of physicians, benefiting the global spine community with a condensed, yet complete information on our specialty.”
The AOSpine Masters series, a co-publication of Thieme and the AOSpine Foundation, addresses current clinical issues featuring international masters sharing their expertise in the core areas in the field. The goal of the series is to contribute to an evidence-based approach to spine care.
