Description

An in-depth analysis of hand surgery principles from internationally renowned hand surgeonsHand surgery is a multidisciplinary pursuit that requires exceptional artistry, superb skills, and harmonious teamwork developed over decades of practice.

Reconstruction of the Thumb and Finger is a unique resource that follows a Socratic approach to teaching in a world consumed by computers.

It reflects 225 years of collective surgical effort by five prominent hand surgeons, who have practiced from the embryonic stages of pedicle flaps and digital transposition to revascularization and free tissue transfers.

The differing goals, techniques, expectations, and collaborative approaches advocated by these masters are articulated throughout this exceptional book. The first chapter provides a comprehensive overview of anatomical and functional eloquence of the hand, including thorough descriptions of the musculoskeletal system, principles of thumb and digit reconstruction, and a detailed classification of defects.

Traumatic loss and congenital differences of the thumb and finger are systematically divided into specific levels in 20 chapters.

At each interval, various methods of reconstruction are presented with an emphasis on both new and older techniques.

Chapter 20 covers elective incisions of the finger, hand, wrist, and forearm.
