Reconstructive Surgery of the Hand and Upper Extremity presents a unique, colour-coded roadmap for managing the complex upper extremity patient, based on a logical approach to surgical decision-making. Authors Gunter Germann, Randolph Sherman, and L. Scott Levin deliver seven systematically organized sections and 69 chapters with versatile, evidence-based guidelines and techniques. Strategic approaches and a video chapter covering patient examination reflect the collective wisdom gleaned from the authors' experience in the care of the upper extremity patient. Key Highlights: * Insightful guidance provided in 115 treatment-specific algorithms. * Patient histories and photos offer practical clinical information on a full continuum of cases-from gunshot wounds to tumours. * Over 500 high quality illustrations and graphics, many redrawn for this edition, delineate injuries and reconstruction techniques. * Richly illustrated atlas of flaps with nearly 140 new colour photos details diverse approaches, including pearls and pitfalls. * Handy tables clearly outline rehabilitation protocols, classification, and zones of injury. * Includes bonus e-book version. The text provides an invaluable framework to help both surgical residents and veteran upper extremity surgeons achieve optimal outcomes in their patients.
