This, the fifth edition, is the most comprehensive compendium on the topic. Authors are key people in the field, and authoritative. It's a one stop shop for almost all information in the field, although is tilted towards surgeons, and lacks any epidemiological content. I have found it a useful overview of others' thinking in my own cervical spine research (I am a chiropractor). Keith Charlton DC MPhil MPainMed PhD (c)
