This comprehensive reference, with its surgical profile, is a must for hand surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and physical therapists. The book explains the technical modalities of surgical treatment and reviews alternatives, including nonsurgical procedures. The surgical chapters compare various complications as well as various conservative and rehabilitative treatment options, underlining that this condition must not be underestimated, as incorrect treatment can render the patient an invalid.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is a multi author book, largely from Italy and the USA. ... this is a useful book for surgeons, offering a wealth of technical advice about the treatment of a common condition in our practice. It will be particularly useful to those who wish to review their technique for carpal tunnel decompression or revision surgery. The book provides a useful template for assessing patients with complications arising from decompression. It is very much a book by surgeons for surgeons." (Frank D. Burke, Journal of Hand Surgery, 2007)
