About the Book
Written by an international group of eminent orthopaedic surgeons and hand surgeons, this volume is the most comprehensive clinical reference on disorders of the wrist. In 76 chapters, the book covers every clinically relevant aspect of the wrist, from kinematics and biomechanics, to evaluation of symptoms, to treatment strategies for the entire spectrum of diseases, disorders, and traumatic injuries. Of special note is a 29-chapter Atlas of Operative Techniques in Wrist Reconstruction , which describes and demonstrates all current surgical procedures in step-by-step detail. More than 1,400 illustrations, including more than 500 in full color, complement the text
