Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to illustrate commom injuries, diseases and deformites of the hand. Less common conditions have been included, without attempting to be comprehensive. This atlas should be of interest to medical students (both undergraduate and postgraduate), and to therapists and nurses who care for patients with hand problems.;Although the author has included some notes on the diagnosis and management of the conditions illustrated, this is not a textbook of hand surgery or medicine and the text is necessarily brief.
