Acute Management of Hand Injuries Andrew J. Weiland MD; Rachel Rohde MD

Are you a health care provider who encounters patients with hand and wrist problems? Are there times when you wish you had a hand surgeon next to you to help guide you in the right direction? Acute Management of Hand Injuries is one of the few resources available to address these important problems.

Acute Management of Hand Injuries is a concise and user-friendly book for the most common complaints including fractures, dislocations, tendon and nerve injuries, infections, bite injuries, industrial trauma, and burns. This book acts as a “pocket consultant” to help handle these complaints and provide information for the non-hand specialists who temporize acute hand issues before referring the injured to a specialist.

Drs. Andrew Weiland and Rachel S. Rohde have designed Acute Management of Hand Injuries to provide the most current and up-to-date information on even the smallest hand afflictions. With a section of color images, Acute Management of Hand Injuries will also serve as a perfect introductory guide for residents and students in orthopedic or plastic surgery programs who will be expected to master these basic principles.

Chapter sections include:

• Mechanism of Injury
• Evaluation
• Acute Treatment
• Definitive Treatment
• Potential Problems
