Review:

"The Wrist is authoritative and comprehensive and is the preeminent textbook on the subject. Cooney has assembled a group of authors with international reputation, and the quality of the book is superior. The book will be an excellent addition to all orthopedic libraries and has material applicable to the early trainee and the advanced hand surgeon"
