Abstract
Spinal surgery is recognized as one of the most legally challenging specialties in the medical profession, with a history of complex and enduring issues related to medical malpractice. Spinal surgeons must be knowledgeable about common causes of medical malpractice in spinal surgery, such as intraoperative adverse events, wrong-level surgery, and neurologic surgery. Surgeons must stay informed about tort reform legislation in their respective states and their potential implications for their practices.
