Contemporary Hand and Wrist Surgery: A Practical Atlas of Operative Techniques for Trauma, Reconstruction, Nerve Repair, plus Microsurgery

Operate With the Confidence of a Master Surgeon Most operative references hand you the steps but leave out the part that matters most in theater: the reasoning behind the choice. This atlas was built to close that gap. Every technique is taught alongside the intraoperative judgment, the decision-making, and the bailout logic that experienced surgeons rely on, so you understand not only what to do, but precisely why and when to do it. Spanning trauma, complex reconstruction, nerve repair, and microsurgery, it treats the upper limb as one continuous craft rather than a set of isolated procedures. The microsurgical, nerve-transfer, flap, and toe-to-hand techniques that other texts touch only briefly are given the full, step-by-step treatment they deserve, making this an authoritative companion for the cases that test even seasoned hands. What truly sets it apart is its honesty about difficulty. Every section weaves in the pitfalls that lead to poor results and the salvage strategies that rescue them, so you are ready not just for the ideal case but for the one that does not go to plan. Presented as a full-color edition, with photorealistic figures and clear decision algorithms placed exactly where you need them, this is the reference you reach for before a case and trust at the table. This edition equips you to: Make the right call under pressure — each chapter begins by teaching you how to read the injury and choose the operation before a single step is described, so you enter the room with the plan and the reasoning already clear. Anticipate and reverse complications — woven pitfall warnings and dedicated salvage and revision guidance show you what failure looks like and how to recover the case when a repair, flap, or fixation starts to fail. Command the full spectrum of upper-limb surgery — trauma, reconstruction, nerve repair, and microsurgery are presented as a single discipline, with the advanced techniques most references gloss over covered in complete detail. Reconstruct with precision — thorough guidance on tendon and nerve repair, flap coverage, thumb reconstruction, and toe-to-hand transfer prepares you for the cases that define a surgeon's reputation. Find the answer in seconds — a lean, operative-only structure, free of nonsurgical filler, makes this the reference you study the night before and consult again at the scrub sink. See every technique clearly — full-color photorealistic figures and decision algorithms sit at the exact point of reference, so the illustration and the explanation are never pages apart. Build mastery that lasts — the judgment, reasoning, and self-audit habits in these pages remain relevant long after any single technique evolves, giving you a reference for your entire career. Buy Now and bring the judgment, foresight, and control of a master hand surgeon to your very next operation. Every procedure is a decision before it is a technique. Give yourself the reasoning to make that decision well, the foresight to see trouble before it arrives, and the confidence to recover with control on the day a case refuses to go as planned.
