Description
This practical resource blends the technical and clinical skills and knowledge of hand surgery and hand therapy for the treatment of common
medical conditions affecting the upper extremity. Written in an outline format, it covers non-surgical and surgical procedures for these
conditions, along with their purpose and rationale. The new edition addresses not only the hand, but also features expanded coverage
of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Both conservative and postoperative rehabilitation are reviewed, and potential postoperative complications
are addressed.
