- Present basic and advanced arthroscopic and endoscopic surgical techniques of the elbow, wrist, and hand
- Includes extensive cadaveric dissections to explain surgical anatomy, neurovascular relationships, and orientation of tendons and ligaments
- Features high-quality colour illustrations and videos to simplify and complement the description of surgical techniques
This book explores the numerous recent advances in arthroscopic and endoscopic surgery of the smaller joints of the upper extremity – elbow, wrist, and hand.
Providing readers with all necessary information, i.e. relevant surgical anatomy and a clear description of technical steps, it uniquely and comprehensively presents arthroscopic and endoscopic techniques of small joints in one publication.
The book is divided into four parts, each focused on a specific joint and including the relevant anatomy, extensive cadaveric dissections, devices and instrumentation, surgical procedures, pearls and pitfalls. It also includes high-quality colour illustrations to simplify and complement the description of surgical techniques.
Written by pioneers of these techniques, the book is designed to be an up-to-date reference resource for both new and advanced orthopaedic surgeons wanting to become familiar with these techniques.
