Operative Techniques in Hand Wrist and Forearm Surgery

Operative Techniques in Hand, Wrist, and Forearm Surgery contains the chapters on the hand, wrist, and forearm from Sam
W. Wiesel's Operative Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery and provides full-color, step-by-step explanations of all
operative procedures. Written by experts from leading institutions around the world, this superbly illustrated volume
focuses on mastery of operative techniques and also provides a thorough understanding of how to select the best
procedure, how to avoid complications, and what outcomes to expect.

The user-friendly format is ideal for quick preoperative review of the steps of a procedure. Each procedure is broken
down step by step, with full-color intraoperative photographs and drawings that demonstrate how to perform each
technique. Extensive use of bulleted points and tables allows quick and easy reference.

Each clinical problem is discussed in the same format: definition, anatomy, physical exams, pathogenesis, natural
history, physical findings, imaging and diagnostic studies, differential diagnosis, non-operative management, surgical
management, pearls and pitfalls, postoperative care, outcomes, and complications. To ensure that the material fully
meets residents' needs, the text was reviewed by a Residency Advisory Board.
