This is a practical guide for the management of common fractures of the hand and carpus. Hand fractures constitute a large proportion of all fractures and are treated by a variety of practitioners, ranging from orthopaedic and plastic surgeons to emergency nurse practitioners.
This book systematically addresses all common hand fracture patterns with illustrative radiographs for each type. The reader can see a patient, take a radiograph of their injury and find an almost exact match to one in this book. He or she will then be guided to the correct treatment, supported by clear and practical instructions from the immediate management to technical tips on definitive surgical fracture fixation. The treatments described emphasise simple and reliable treatments that can be applied in most medical settings. This makes the book applicable in both first and third world countries.
Versions of this book have been used and have proven popular in a number of Orthopaedic and A&E departments across the UK. It is an easy-to-use reference for medical and non-medical staff including nurses, physiotherapists as well as junior and senior hospital doctors and general practitioners.
Contents:
- Finger Metacarpals
- Proximal Phalanx
- Middle Phalanx
- Distal Phalanx
- Thumb Metacarpal
- Thumb Phalanges
- The Carpus
Readership: Orthopaedic surgeons, hand surgeons, plastic surgeons, specialists in A&E medicine, A&E emergency nurse practitioners, general practitioners, junior and senior hospital doctors, nurses, and medical students.
Key Features:
- There is no other guidebook focusing on this particular group of common fractures that stresses the roles of simple and reliable treatments
- The abundance of radiographs for virtually every pattern of fracture allows readers to find a pattern that fits with the case they are treating. This avoids ambiguity and allows for confident treatment of all cases
- The guidance is simple, clear and direct, but not dogmatic unless non-operative treatment is plainly the best option. Where there are a number of possibilities, the book includes various common options emphasising the simpler (safer) techniques
- Written by highly experienced authors and backed up by a detailed knowledge of the medical literature and papers they have published/presented, demonstrating the efficacy of the treatments outlined
- It is also an essential study guide for the specialist orthopaedic and plastic surgical examinations. (The senior author is an examiner for the FRCS (Tr and Orth) examination.)
