Excellent textbook for the experienced elbow surgeon but particularly for the upper limb surgeon who is asked to undertake the complex trauma and elective elbow problems that present to their orthopaedic department.
Each chapter has a similar format with a brief introduction , indications and contraindications for surgery, preoperative planning , surgical technique , results and complications
High-quality operative photographs and diagrams
Explains how to deal with the complications of elbow trauma
An essential addition that, ideally, should be available in the surgeon’s room within the operating theatre complex
Highly recommended.
