Fractures of the Upper Extremity A Master Skills Publication

Area of Focus: Trauma and Shoulder & Upper Extremity Fractures of the Upper Extremity: A Master Skills Publication is designed to provide residents, fellows, and established surgeons with a powerful tool to advance their knowledge and skills in treating fractures of the upper extremity. Organized by anatomic region, its in-depth focus contains details, pearls, and pitfalls provided by the masters of this craft.

Read cover-to-cover, or used as a preoperative reference, this book will help the reader choose the appropriate fixation technique, understand how to execute it with precision, know its limitations, optimize postoperative management and avoid the common pitfalls along the way. This is the third title in the Master Skills Series, published by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH).
