Beschreibung:
As the incidence of distal radius fractures increases, so too does the importance of this classic volume. Fully revised and expanded, with new illustrations and radiographs and new chapters on the distal radioulnar joint, late complications and future fracture techniques, no orthopaedic surgeon can be without this comprehensive and complete guide to the treatment of what are remarkably complex injuries.
Fully revised and expanded, with over 230 new illustrations, this second edition reviews accepted treatments and discusses the best choice for treatment. A noteworthy addition to the volume is an entirely new chapter on acute and chronic derangement of the distal radioulnar joint, a complex joint that has been poorly understood and neglected until only recently. The authors have provided an in-depth discussion of treatment options, including functional aftercare, cast immobilization, as well as open and arthroscopic surgical approaches. No orthopedic surgeon can be without this definitive and up-to-date guide to the treatment of these remarkably complex injuries.
