Summary:

While new techniques and instruments are constantly being developed, the fundamental concepts and principles of hand surgery remain the core on which all skills are built. This book provides the vital information needed to perform all types of hand surgery, including a guiding philosophy and systematic approach that reduce even the most difficult problems to manageable solutions. Written by world-renowned hand surgeon Robert W. Beasley, the book shares his 40 years of clinical experience to help you make strong and effective surgical decisions. The text is augmented by nearly 1,400 exquisite, high-quality illustrations that explain important points and give meaning to theoretical concepts. Clinical photographs depict the entire process from initial problem through post-surgical results, and the superb anatomical drawings were created by award-winning artist Leon Dorn especially for this book.

Beginning with a detailed explanation of surgical anatomy, the text goes on to address problems such as sustained activity disorder, metacarpal shaft fractures, soft tissue injury and replacements, acute compartment syndrome, prostheses, tumors, amputation, and much more! Here is all the anatomic, functional, and surgical information needed to successfully restore the disabled hand. It is a timeless clinical reference that will offer years of sound guidance and advice as you face your own surgical decision-making.
