Nerve Tendon and Other Disorders (Surgery of Disorders of the Hand and Upper Extremity)

The medical literature contains volumes of information on disorders of the tendons and nerves - so much so that finding the exact information you need can be intimidating and laborious. Specifically focusing on problems affecting the hand, Tendon, Nerve and Other Disorders winnows the data down into a manageable volume. The combination of well-known editors and well-respected contributors makes the book a reliable resource for authoritative information. Divided into sections that cover tendons, nerves and paralysis, pediatrics, inflammatory diseases, and other conditions, the book profiles the most important issues in surgery of the nerves and tendons. It covers repair of the peripheral nerves and brachial plexus as well as paralytic disorders of the upper limb. The editors highlight the multidisciplinary nature of management for tendinous or nervous lesions, soma pathologic disorders of the upper extremity, and rheumatoid arthritis. The text is a one-stop reference for practitioners who treat musicians, athletes, and other patients with repetitive motion problems or arthritis.
