      abstract = {As the population continues to age worldwide, spinal  disease will become more prevalent in the elderly  population. The treatment of spinal disease requires an  individual approach encorporating best practices. Optimal  management in the elderly may differ from younger patients  due to increased comorbidities, decreased bone health, and  a higher risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality.  While more and more elderly patients will require  evaluation and management of their spinal disease, most  modern books discuss operative and nonoperative management  based upon disease process. Techniques and approaches are  described for a specific pathology, and are usually  tailored for a young or middle aged patient. Treatment of  Spine Disease in the Elderly: Cutting Edge Techniques and  Technologies is designed to address this gap in todays  literature by expressly addressing spinal conditions in the  elderly and current advanced techniques and technologies  for treating their spinal disease. It will be intended as a  resource for the beginning to the advanced surgeon and  practitioner whom undertakes treatment of patients in this  age group. .},
