Assembling international experts and featuring more than 300 illustration, this text presents the latest clinical thinking on the correct strategy to adopt in surgical management of upper limb trauma. After defining current issues, the book covers soft tissue repair, bone reconstruction, joint reconstruction, nerve defect repair, tendon defect repair, and compound transfers. The final chapter is devoted to general indications. The book highlights of flap techniques, bone reconstruction and bone substitutes, joint reconstruction and replacement, nerve grafts and alternative methods for reinervation, tendon grafting and transfer, and future advances in hand and upper limb surgery.
