<p><strong><cite>Hand and Wrist Anatomy and Biomechanics A Comprehensive Guide</cite></strong></p><p>There is a saying that ‘hand surgery without a tourniquet is like repairing a clock in a barrel full of dark ink.’ Operating without a sound fundamental knowledge of anatomy can be compared to ‘stirring around in the soup.’ Classic anatomy instruction covers only a fraction of the area of hand surgery: bones, muscles/ligaments, vessels, and nerves. The many different connective-tissue structures are often only briefly highlighted. The complex interaction of the various structures remains a mystery to most. This book presents the specialty of applied anatomy and is intended for medical professionals involved with the hand and its functionality: hand surgeons, trauma specialists, orthopaedists, plastic surgeons, occupational therapists, and physio-therapists.</p><p><strong>Key Features:</strong><ul><li>Almost 150 illustrations, anatomical drawings, and photos of anatomy in vivo.</li><li>Up-to-date information on clinical aspects such as diseases, their causes, and their treatment.</li><li>Part 1 deals with the anatomy and functional anatomy of the hand</li><li>Part 2 is dedicated to the surface anatomy of the structures of the forearm, wrist, and hand</li></ul></p>
