Quick Overview
• Define the principles of diagnosis and treatment of complex and combined injuries of the hand
• Provide the anatomic and physiologic basis for the treatment best suited to restoration of maximal function in an injured hand
• Discuss the logic of staging, of sequencing the repair and of reconstruction where necessary, with emphasis on the synthesis and integration of treatment principles
The book is divided into four sections. The first section deals with the general principles and philosophy of treatment, including anesthesia and post-operative rehabilitation; the second deals with complex injuries in each tissue system; the third with thermal and blast injuries; the fourth with special techniques such as microsurgery and external fixation.
Key Features
The number of complex hand injuries is on the rise and these generally involve multiple tissue systems. Complex Injuries of the Hand defines the principles of their diagnosis and provides the anatomic and physiologic basis for optimal treatment leading to the restoration of maximal function. The book also discusses the staging and sequencing of repair and reconstruction based on the nature of the injury.
The book is divided into four sections: the first reviews the general principles and philosophy of treatment of complex injuries, including anesthesia and post-operative rehabilitation. The second part deals with complex injuries in each tissue system, the third with thermal and blast injuries, while the fourth covers the application of special techniques such as microsurgery and external fixation.
• Provides a definitive ‘go to’ reference for hand surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons and plastic surgeons
• Emphasis on the synthesis and integration of different treatment principles
• Lavishly illustrated with over 500 color photographs and diagrams showing repair and reconstruction techniques
