Boyer, MD, MSc, FRCSC, Washington University School of Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, St. Louis, MO -- "It is refreshing to see a textbook of hand surgery that does not attempt an exhaustive coverage of conditions related to the shoulder and elbow...This [two-volume] textbook covers the core of what is important to hand surgeons and their fellows and also serves as a good initial reference for problems, conditions, and injuries about the elbow and forearm... "This book belongs in every departmental library and in every orthopaedic hospital in which hand surgery is taught or practiced."-The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery The Journal of Hand Surgery, Charles Goldfarb, MD -- "A comprehensive review of adult and pediatric hand surgery...The information is more comprehensive than seen in Blair's Techniques in Hand Surgery but more procedure oriented than presented in Green's Operative Hand Surgery...A primary strength of this text is its recognizable panel of international contributors. The disparate backgrounds of the authors provide a broad view of different hand topics... "This text...is an excellent resource for those in training as a means to prepare for specific surgery and/or to review the common topics seen in hand surgery. Additionally it will prove helpful to the practicing generalist or hand surgeon and I expect it to be a well-used reference text in my personal library."-The Journal of Hand Surgery
