I really like that it is written by top doctors, makes it more credible (as we all know, you can't believe everything you read). I will definitely be reading this and I want to watch the surgery videos (it is very interesting to me) Dr. Yue and my surgeon are the inventors of the Active L, the disc that I have. So, that right there gives the book 2 thumbs up!

This is great! I discovered the existence of this book just yesterday and put a request in for my local library to obtain through their inter-library loan system, but now I can have the bulk of it at my fingertips. Thanks for the link. Free is more affordable than $290.
Sure thing, Brad! This book is a great resource and is hands down one of the most comprehensive books on motion preservation technologies. Most of the book is found on GoogleBooks, but some of the sections / images are protected by copyright and are not included.
Free sure beats $290!

Re: Motion Preservation Surgery of the Spine: Advanced Techniques and Controversies I was so very happy to see my doctor as one of the authors. I felt kind of bad that I will not be able to go to Germany but you never know, things might change. Now that I see my doctor, perhaps I can stay in my home town and feel that it may be okay. Dr. An at Rush Teaching Hospital in Chicago will be okay while I walk with God. Thank you Justin for bringing it to everyone's attention.This book is a great resource and most of it is available for free on Google Books (scroll to the bottom of this post).
