Description

From the editors of Skeletal Trauma and Green’s Skeletal Trauma in Children, this eBook serves as a reference for traumatic and reconstructive problems of the upper extremity. Nineteen chapters and more than 50 videos cover both adult and pediatric patients, extending from the hand to the shoulder girdle. Each chapter represents a new level of scholarship based on best evidence, along with the personal insights of individual authors on the risks and benefits of alternative treatments of specific clinical problems. References are defined by level of evidence and include meta-analyses and evidence-supported guidelines.
