In each section there will be a description of preoperative and postoperative measures and of conservative treatments for the various conditions.Each section also contains a brief description of the surgical procedure. The book is written for those medical and paramedical people who are called on to see, assess and treat patients with conditions of the hand and upper extremity. These professionals include physiotherapists, occupational therapists and hand surgeons; those in rehabilitation medicine, Rheumatologys and Pain Management Personnel.There is no other one volume text of this size which covers this wide field in such a clear, didactic and illustrated fashion.

Completely revised, much of the existing text has been replaced and updated. There are four new chapters covering simple wrist fractures, nerve compression, tendon entrapment and free tissue transfers. Many of the illustrations have been updated with new pictures added to illustrate the new chapters.Welcomed by both doctors and therapists intending to specialize in the subject, or those who regularly encounter hand patients in the course of general practice, this text is an accessible, quick reference book for all those involved in this difficult area of rehabilitation.With its new content and attractive new format, the popularity of this book is assured.
