Review

This book is vastly different...in that it is primarily a visual presentation. With almost 775 images on 188 pages, that works out to an average of 4.12 images per page. So except for the Introduction, the other chapters consist mainly of images with captions. -- BIZ INDIA

This is an excellent compendium of osteosynthesis techniques for any hand surgeon. It would most benefit trainees and orthopedic surgeons less familiar with hand surgery techniques. -- Doody's Book Review (Score: 90)
