Textbook of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Vol2

Description

Textbook of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery is a comprehensive and illustrated work for students,
teachers, and practicing surgeons. It is a six-volume set with the topics of the volumes based on the clinical
needs of plastic surgeons in developing countries. Along with latest developments, these volumes incorporate
landmark contributions, innovations, and techniques used by Indian clinicians who regularly deal with unique
and complicated conditions. While a majority of authors have been chosen from the Indian subcontinent, a few
international authors whose work is considered indispensable for understanding the subject have also been included.

The six volumes seek to incorporate in one work issues relevant to the developing world as well as insights from
national and international plastic surgery practices which highlight newer management techniques along with
traditional methods. This makes these volumes a "must-have" resource for students and practitioners of
plastic surgery across the globe.

This current volume, Hand and Upper Extremity, offers a detailed explanation of various reconstruction procedures
of the hand and upper extremity. It is divided into two sections. The first section describes the basics of hand
surgery, imaging, congenital hand differences, degenerative conditions, and tumors of the hand. Interesting topics,
such as arthroscopy and Dupuytren's contracture find a special mention in this section and are discussed in detail.

The management of the trauma of hand and the upper extremity has been discussed in the second section.
Thus, the chapters cover myriads of topics ranging from common fingertip injuries to complex microsurgical
reconstructions and their rehabilitation, making the volume a must read for every plastic surgeon managing
patients with hand and upper extremity problems, as well as for students and faculty members.
