Summary:

After injury the upper limb can often be left with severe mutilation, with devastating consequences for the patient's daily life. This book assembles over 40 international experts to present the latest clinical thinking on the correct strategy to adopt in surgical management. Flaps, bone and joint reconstruction, nerve and tendon defect repair, and compound transfers are all included (although finger mutilation is not).
