The specialized ligaments that connect the head to the spine have never before had a book dedicated to their anatomy and clinical relevance. Therefore, this book is unique and fills in a gap in the literature. Audiences with a strong interest in such a topic include radiologists, spine surgeons, anatomists, rehabilitation physicians and therapists. Additionally, trainees including students, residents and fellows in disciplines treating patients with diseases or trauma to the craniocervical (connection between the head and neck) junction will have a strong interest in the book. As the fine surgical anatomy involved in spine surgery has progressed greatly in recent year, knowledge of all detailed anatomical structures relevant to this field is important. Therefore, this book will satisfy the demand for a more detailed knowledge regarding this region of the body and will be welcomed and timely for all who are interested in the human spine.

“A careful review of the first edition of Clinical Anatomy of the Ligaments of the Craniocervical Junction quickly places this work as an authoritative text on craniocervical junction anatomy. The book is edited by some of the leading authorities in the field and is very well organized, with each chapter dedicated to a specific anatomical structure constituting the relevant anatomy to the craniocervical junction. Both the anatomical references and the biomechanical studies that demonstrate the functionality of each ligament and structure are well-referenced and thoroughly discussed.Areas of controversy and debate are skillfully pointed out, and readers are appropriately directed to the original scholarship. Each chapter is also well-organized and contains anatomical images of the important structures, through cadaveric dissections, medical illustrations, as well as skull and spine photographs. These images are supplemented with 3-dimensional computed topography scans to provide gross perspective to the relevant anatomy. Some chapters provide a nice historical narrative, with photographs of the pioneering scientists who discovered key structures, placing their legacy and contributions in the framework of our current understanding. The book ends with clinically relevant topics as they pertain to traumatic injuries to the craniocervical junction […] All in all, this is a well-written and nicely organized text. It is written with authoritative insight on a highly complex yet very important topic.”Ahmed Mohyeldin, MD, PhD, and Daniel M.
