Fractures of the hand and wrist are among the most common musculoskeletal
injuries sustained by orthopedic patients. In fact, most people will suffer from
such an injury at some point in their lives. Although treatment is typically
straightforward, several pitfalls exist that often require the attention of a
trained specialist.
The inteational panel of expert hand surgeons provides insights into new
developments and techniques for both basic and more challenging management
and treatment problems. Discussion of hand and wrist fractures is broken down
into chapters focusing on distal phalanx fractures, fingertip crush injuries,
phalangial shaft fractures, metacarpal fractures, carpal fracture dislocations,
and scaphoid fractures. Special attention is given to challenging proximal interphalangeal
fracture-dislocations, including evolving concepts in fixation and
arthroplasty, and the treatment of distal radius fractures.
