Some books that may help you all. I can vouch for many of these, but not the ones in insurance which may be too general for appeal support. Check Amazon or your favorite site for TOC or reviews. Or for all you "ancient" folks, there's always the library...

Sections cover the cervical spine and the thoracolumbar/lumbosacral spine and discuss the full range of complications that may be encountered, including those associated with the newest technologies, procedures, and instrumentation. Each chapter focuses on a specific type of problem and presents "how-to" strategies for avoiding and managing the problem in specific surgical procedures. Of special note are the detailed discussions of complications related to instrumentation. Each chapter includes extensive, up-to-date references. More than 150 illustrations complement the text. 978-0-7817-2528-6: MRI of the Spine: full description The thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of this text is part of the popular Lippincott Williams & Wilkins MRI Teaching File Series. The book presents 100 actual case studies that cover a wide range of spinal disorders and demonstrate the use of current MRI techniques to aid in diagnosis.Each case study is illustrated with high-resolution MR images and presented in an easy-to-follow format on a two-page spread. On the left-hand page are the images and the clinical history. On the right-hand page are concise descriptions of the radiographic findings, the diagnosis, and the pathology. This format is ideal for teaching readers how to interpret MR images or for everyday reference at the view box. Rehabilitation of the Spine Video Series Patient Set, VHS Video Set of Four VHS Videos Author(s): Craig Liebenson DC Availability:In Stock 978-0-7817-4435-5: The Cervical Spine Surgery Atlas: full description Prepared by the Cervical Spine Research Society, this comprehensive surgical atlas demonstrates the full range of operative techniques for treating cervical spine disorders. Internationally renowned experts provide thoroughly illustrated step-by-step instructions on patient preparation, approaches to the cervical spine, and all current decompression, graft, fixation, and stereotactic techniques. The consistent chapter organization allows easy access to information. Chapters on approaches cover limits of exposure; anatomy; dangers; perioperative considerations; operating room setup; instruments; positioning; skin incisions; deep dissection; closure; and postoperative management. Chapters on techniques cover indications/contraindications; benefits/limitations; recommended approach; perioperative considerations; operating room setup; instruments; biomechanical considerations; technique; and postoperative management. 978-0-7817-4297-9: The Lumbar Spine: full description The official publication of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine, this volume is the most authoritative and up-to-date reference on the lumbar spine. This edition provides more balance between basic science and clinical material and has been completely reorganized for easy reference. New chapters cover gene therapy, outcomes assessment, and alternatives to traditional nonoperative treatment. The editors have also added chapters on preparation for surgery, surgical approaches, spinal instrumentation, and bone grafts. Chapters on specific disorders have a consistent structure—definition, natural history, physical examination, imaging, nonoperative treatment, operative treatment, postoperative management, results of surgery, and complications. 978-0-7817-9613-2: The Failed Spine: full description Written by an international group of recognized experts, this volume addresses the complications of spine surgery and the treatment of patients with adverse surgical outcomes. Coverage includes discussions of failed spine fusion, postoperative scoliosis, postoperative flat back, postoperative infection, epidural fibrosis, and complications resulting from implants and devices. Chapters offer guidelines on patient selection for surgery and identify psychosocial risk factors for chronic pain. Sections on treatment of the failed spine cover medications, physical therapy, and invasive modalities including radiofrequency procedures, spinal cord stimulation, epiduroscopy, and revision lumbar fusion. A treatment algorithm for the failed back surgery syndrome is included. 978-1-904369-35-6: Exploring the Spine: A 3D Overview of Anatomy and Pathology : full description Vivid 3D computer-generated images clearly illustrate the features of each structure. The easy-to-understand text links to corresponding subjects. Features include rotating and still 3D models; mouse-over labeling; interactive quizzing, and a gallery of images to print and use in presentations. This is the perfect learning tool for patients and students.

Using 100 new original drawings, Dr. Cailliet demonstrates the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the spine and explains how impaired biomechanics cause symptoms. The book describes in detail the discogenic pathology that is the predominant factor in impairment and clarifies current concepts on the causes of spinal instability. Dr. Cailliet thoroughly reviews treatment options and their physiological basis and offers recommendations on nonsurgical treatment of low back symptoms. 978-0-7817-2948-2: Pocket Atlas of Spinal MRI: full description Featuring 97 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art scanning technology, the Second Edition of this popular pocket atlas is a quick, handy guide to interpreting magnetic resonance images of the spine.

This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy.Chapters cover the cervical spine, craniocervical junction, thoracic spine, thoracolumbar junction, lumbar spine, and sacrum. This edition includes a new section on the occipital-cervical junction, with emphasis on the upper cervical ligaments and atlantoaxial articulations.Praise for the previous edition:"No artist's rendition nor photograph of a fixed specimen could match the detail shown here. The authors have painstakingly identified those structures of clinical significance. The quality of the reproductions and the clarity of the identifying arrows, etc. is exemplary....Not only should this booklet prove to be a valuable reference for those clinicians interested in spinal disorders, but also for the next generation of physicians struggling to understand the morphology of the human body."--Journal of Spinal Disorders"An excellent guide for all those interested in learning about the normal magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the spine and its neural contents."--Neurology"An invaluable reference text for technologists, radiologists, neurologists, and orthopedists alike....This tiny gem will greatly facilitate the transition from the physics lectures of the classroom to the actual acquisition of diagnostic images."--Advance for Radiologic Technologists 978-0-683-30322-3: Spinal Stabilization, Tape 4: full description See step-by-step demonstrations of specific exercise tracks for key muscles, such as the abdominals, gluteals, and back extensors.
