The Michel Benoist and Robert Mulholland yearly European Spine Journal Review. A survey of the "surgical and research" articles in the European Spine Journal, 2004.
The Deputy Editor has explained in his editorial the reason for this review. I found it a challenging but very rewarding project. The overall quality of papers was so good that it was very difficult to select the necessarily few which space would allow me to review. Inevitably I am influenced by my particular interests, and hence very many excellent papers will not be discussed; failure to discuss a paper is not a reflection on its quality or importance. Criticisms of papers again reflect my own prejudices.
