Veterinary Spine

Comparative spine anatomy and the veterinary spine world: who to follow and where to read.

Checked October 2026

My interest in veterinary spine surgery began with my doctoral thesis on the comparative anatomy of the mammalian spine. Since then I have followed cross-species spine anatomy, function and treatment, and the excellent work done by veterinary colleagues. As veterinary spine colleagues like to joke, real surgeons treat more than one species.

— Dr. med. habil. Bronek Boszczyk, Editor-in-Chief. Thesis work published as: Boszczyk BM, Boszczyk AA, Putz R. Comparative and functional anatomy of the mammalian lumbar spine. Anat Rec 2001;264(2):157–168.
