Description
This unique case-based book offers an outstanding hands-on approach for the treatment of the key fractures of the hand, wrist distal radius and scaphoid (including soft tissue injuries). Each case explains step-by-step: case history, planning, approach, reduction, fixation, and rehabilitation. The text is reduced to the essence and allows a fast overview of each case. Hundreds of full-color illustrations, intraoperative pictures, and x-rays demonstrate every step of the techniques and methods used. Jesse Jupiter gives his personal insights for each fracture with all of the pitfalls and pearls learned – this helps the reader getting out of difficult situations with different alternative methods based on the great experience of the author. The included CD-ROM contains step-by-step presentation of the operation supported with intraoperative videos and animations illustrating the critical steps. All levels of surgeons focusing on hand surgery will get key information for their daily work from this innovative AO Manual series.
