Orthopedics — Spine and Pelvis

Orthopedics and Traumatology · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Tratamiento exhaustivo de la anatomía funcional y biomecánica de la columna vertebral y la pelvis, la fisiopatología y manejo de las principales patologías degenerativas e inflamatorias espinales, las clasificaciones y protocolos de las fracturas vertebrales y pélvicas de alta energía, y los principios del manejo de la lesión medular aguda, con énfasis en correlación clínico-quirúrgica y evidencia actualizada.
