DESCRIPTION:
This case-based guide is the most comprehensive, up-to-date work focusing on the topic of carpal instability. This work presents all aspects of the conditions including anatomy, physical examination, classification, kinematics, and nonsurgical and surgical methods of management. A wide variety of topics are presented, such as dynamic, static acute, and chronic reducible scapholunate ligament injury, subacute lunotriquetral ligament injury, perilunate injury, SLAC wrist, and more. For each topic, the traditional options as well as the most cutting-edge treatment modalities are discussed in detail, illustrated with numerous clinical and intraoperative photos.
Written by a world-class international group of authors comprised of the most widely known experts in the field of carpal instability from around the world, this practical guide will serve as the authoritative resource for young and senior surgeons alike.
