  • Scoliosis Surgery by Dave Wolpert

    Hi...

    The 2nd Edition of Scoliosis Surgery by Dave Wolpert is now available. I believe that the new edition has a section on revision surgery. It can be ordered via the NSF's website:

    http://www.scoliosis.org/store/books.php

    (It shows only the 1st edition, but they have 2nd edition books on the way.)

    Regards,
    Linda

      Hi...

      Dave tells me that he did not add a new section on revision surgery as originally planned. There is an expanded section on first time surgery. I apologize if anyone ordered the book specifically for the revision section.

      Linda

        Oh, thanks for clarifying, I hadn't ordered mine yet. As much as I would be interested in getting it, one with revision surgeries would be more what I would be interested in. I still might get it, as it isn't very expensive.
