Synopsis
"Controversies in Hand Surgery" contains coverage of various treatment approaches for hand problems, organized in a "debate" format. Several treatment options are discussed for each hand problem and each treatment option is advocated by an acknowledged expert in hand surgery who argues the case for his preferred method of therapy. Issues include: open treatment vs local flaps and grafting for digital tip injuries; ulnar lengthening vs intracarpal arthrodesis for Kenbock's disease; percutaneous pinning vs closed treatment for nonarticular fractures. It is suitable for hand surgeons, plastic surgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons with an interest in hand surgery.
