      Lauréat du 26° Prix Hermann Fischgold Les lésions traumatiques du rachis, outre leur extrême diversité allant de la banale contusion osseuse par compression aux formes les plus complexes par cisaillement, suscitent invariablement un sentiment d'inquiétude, plus ou moins justifié par la crainte d'un handicap fonctionnel ou d'un déficit neurologique définitif. Cette crainte est avant tout liée à la complexité du rachis. Constitué d'un savant mélange de matériaux, de maillons forts et faibles, de variantes anatomiques, d'unités fonctionnelles élémentaires, son architecture lui assure, dans des conditions normales, un triple rôle : stabilité, mobilité et protection de l'axe cérébro-spinal. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, comporte : - un volet diagnostique, optimisant les outils – radiographie, scanner, IRM – mis à disposition des radiologues ; - un versant consacré aux lésions traumatiques, à leur fréquence, leur particularité, leur pronostic selon la topographie, l'âge du patient et l'état du rachis. Un chapitre particulier aborde l'apport spécifique de l'imagerie par résonance magnétique. Enfin, une ultime partie est consacrée aux bases thérapeutiques des lésions les plus couramment rencontrées, à savoir celles du rachis thoraco-lombaire. Outil indispensable, cet ouvrage s'adresse aux radiologues, confirmés ou débutants, orthopédistes se destinant à la chirurgie du rachis. Il intéressera aussi les médecins urgentistes et rééducateurs.
