AO Surgery Reference is any surgeon's choice resource for the management of fractures, based on current clinical principles, practices and available evidence. Our content for orthopedic trauma (including pediatrics), CMF, spine, and veterinary practitioners helps you improve patient care every day.
Only last year, the AO Spine Knowledge Forum Tumor treatment recommendations and classifications for metastatic spine tumor were adopted and implemented into the AO Surgery Reference. The module organizes concepts in a way that helps spine surgeons think systemically about their treatment indications and options.
“The AO Surgery Reference for Metastatic Spine Tumor is the only tool of its kind guiding decision-making and access to recommended surgical techniques at a moment’s notice—accessible anytime, anywhere on hand-held devices," says author Ilya Laufer.
