    Spine Classifications and Severity Measures 1st Edition

    by Joseph R. Dettori ​
     

    Care of spinal conditions has become increasingly complex and confusing. 
    Classification systems can help in understanding the subject matter at hand, but 
    have exploded in numbers and complexity. Attempts at extracting classifications 
    of spinal disorders are cumbersome and require careful study of numerous 
    reference books without achieving a comprehensive overview in the end. This one 
    of a kind reference text summarizes over 185 spine classification or severity 
    easures with standardized art work, provides ratings and critical evaluations of 
    pertinent strengths and weaknesses in a concise and systematic fashion and 
    provides help in:


    • Studying spinal disease conditions

    • Preparing informed treatment decisions

    • Communicating individual patient disease severity

    • Evaluating publications regarding treatment results and 
      success

    • Formulating spinal research projects

    • Providing a scientific reference tool


    The book is divided into two major systems


    Disease severity:

     

    • General disease severity

    • Instability

    • Osteoporosis

    • Stenosis

    • Spinal deformity

    • Degenerative disorders

    • Infection

    • Tumor

    • Heterotopic ossification


    Trauma severity:

     

    • General trauma scores

    • Spinal cord injury

    • Fracture classifications


    All identified measures within each category are formally reviewed and displayed in a unique visually friendly manner containing:

     

    • A one of a kind compendium of high quality diagrams for 
      each severity measure or classification system with unrivaled specificity and 
      detail

    • The content of each measure and whether it incorporates 
      the critically important ABCDs of disease severity including: an anatomical 
      component, a biomechanical component, a clinical component, and the degree of severity component

    • A summary of the measures validity, reliability, and 
      predictive ability with corresponding patient populations

    • An evaluation of each measure using our scoring 
      criteria focusing on methodological rigor and clinical utility

    • An overall score for each measure rating the instrument’s strength with respect to methodology and clinical utility
