Editorial Reviews
Review
"This well illustrated book provides excellent material for diagnosing hand injuries. It is well referenced and all information is readily accessible, making this ideal for non-specialists who see patients with hand trauma in the acute setting."
— Mark Gonzalez, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago, College of Medicine, Doody Enterprises, Inc.
"The book is well organized into many practical sections. The overwhelming strength of this book is that it provides a succinct reference for a broad variety of hand complaints. As a teaching faculty in a busy emergency medicine residency, I consider this a good introductory reference book for my residents. I believe this is a valuable book for its succinctness, its organization, and scope of acute hand complaints… it is affordable, and it should find a welcome place in any emergency department reference library."
