Synopsis

This book provides the necessary information for surgeons to diagnose and treat fractures that occur in the pediatric and adult hand, written by experts who routinely care for these injuries. It is imperative that treating healthcare providers understand the nuances that will be presented throughout the book to avoid missing a diagnosis, mistreating a fracture as a minor injury, or risking other common pitfalls and potential complications.
Part one covers pediatric hand fractures and begins with a review of the anatomy and osseous development of the hand, followed by physical and radiographic evaluation. Subsequent chapters focus on all areas of the hand, including metacarpal, phalangeal and fingertip fractures. Part two takes a similar approach to the adult hand, opening with physical and radiographic evaluation and then proceeding to a more in-depth discussion of each type and area of fracture. Arthroscopic and WALANT procedures for hand fractures are also presented here, as are rehabilitation strategies and orthoses. 
Fractures that occur in the hand are typically treated by numerous providers, and therefore Pediatric and Adult Hand Fractures: A Clinical Guide to Management has wide applicability, including orthopedic surgeons, emergency department/urgent care center providers, general practitioners, plastic surgeons, and fellows and trainees in all of these areas. ​
