A Comprehensive Palette of Microsurgical Techniques for the Upper Extremity

New York, NY, April 05, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Current statistics show that one-third of all traumatic injuries affect the hands with the fingertips being the most frequently injured portion of the hand. This results in an estimated six million emergency room visits and twelve million office visits for hand injuries each year in the U.S. alone.

Written by leading hand surgeons from around the world, “The Art of Microsurgical Hand Reconstruction,” recently published by Thieme, is a visually-detailed, content-rich atlas packed with all the step-by-step procedures surgeons need to successfully perform both tried-and-true and cutting-edge techniques in microsurgery of the upper extremity. This sophisticated atlas covers more than 50 specific procedures that beginning microsurgeons as well as more experienced surgeons will want to add to their arsenal to stay competitive in their practice.

"The Art of Microsurgical Hand Reconstruction is an outstanding surgical text book. It is a monumental contribution to the field of microvascular surgery and microsurgical nerve transfer … The material covers the gamut of state-of-the-art microsurgical techniques in autogenous free-tissue vessel and nerve transplant, including those procedures considered the most difficult."“ – From the Foreword by William B. Kleinman, M.D.

This new atlas is designed for upper extremity surgeons in orthopedic and plastic surgery.
