Book Description

Have a patient with a ruptured distal biceps tendon? Or a fractured hook of the hamate? How about "skier's thumb"? Check out the Atlas of Hand Clinics issue on Sports Injuries. Packed with articles on current treatments for upper extremity injuries, like wrist and elbow pain, lateral epicondylitis, distal radius fractures in snowboarders and more, you'll refer to this issue often and with confidence. Each chapter contains tons of great illustrations and specific surgical procedures with step-by-step instructions, rehabilitation protocols and guidelines for athletes' safe return-to-play, tips to keep them injury-free (like proper gear, improved equipment and protective devices) and playing longer. Plus there's a special chapter by Stuart Hershon, M.D. the chief physician and orthopaedic surgeon for the New York Yankees.
