This book, on Spinal Cord Injury, is a translation from Swedish but applicable to
the world over. The authors did not intend to write an exhaustive review of spinal
cord injury but rather a concise, comprehensive, easy to digest source of general
information on the subject matter. The layout of t'he book is very intuitive and starts
with epidemiology, anatomy, and pathophysiology, then progresses through pre-hospital
and hospital care all the way to rehabilitation. The authors describe the various
types of injury and different treatment options very broadly and clearly. “Spinal
Cord Injury” is a good general review of all aspects of spinal cord injury. Anyone
needing an in-depth review on particular topics or specific information on surgical
techniques will have to review the references, which the authors provide. I think
this book would be a great addition to the library of any Neurology or Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation residency. Neurosurgery residents will find this an excellent primer
for the first year of residency. I enjoyed the wealth of information, graphs and diagrams
provided in this book.
