Main description:

Authored by a renowned expert in the field of hand and
wrist surgery, Wrist Arthroscopy Techniques is a step-by-step, anatomically
illustrated manual encompassing the latest concepts in the field. The
development of arthroscopy for the wrist has evolved significantly over
the past decade, with a better understanding of disease mechanisms
and applications.

Starting with an introduction about instrumentation and
techniques, readers will gain insight into how an arthroscope enables precise
visualization and analysis of the internal structural make-up of the
wrist. Each chapter provides a how-to, detailed procedural guide, from the
point of incision to closure, accompanied by artfully drawn illustrations.
The author shares clinical pearls and provides comprehensive explanations on
treating specific conditions, including ligament tears and instability,
complex fractures, dorsal and volar wrist ganglia, advanced arthritis, and fibrocartilage tears. Indications, risks, special precautions, and postoperative
care are covered.

Special Features:

• Meticulous explanation of
  anatomical structures
• Multiple surgical approaches included, where
  applicable
• Coverage of new minimally invasive arthroscopy
• Use of
  pyrocarbon implants, and bone and tendon grafts for reconstruction
• Analyses
  of postoperative range-of-motion, stability, and overall outcome

Whether you
are a seasoned surgeon or an advanced student, this comprehensive
compendium is certain to be frequently referenced. An invaluable resource
tool covering the state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques, this is a
must-have for all hand and wrist surgeons, as well as for orthopaedic and
