Overview

Comprised exclusively of more than two dozen clinical cases covering common injuries of and around the wrist, this concise, practical casebook will provide clinicians with the best real-world strategies to properly manage open and closed fractures, dislocations and nonunions of the distal radius, scaphoid and perilunate. Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation with associated radiology, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as the case outcome and clinical pearls. Cases included illustrate the surgical management of intra- and extra-articular fractures and malunions of the distal radius - volar plating, k-wires and fracture-specific fixation - Galeazzi fractures, DRUJ fixation, scaphoid-scapholunate-perilunate dislocation and more, including pediatric cases. Pragmatic and reader-friendly, Fractures of the Wrist: A Clinical Casebook will be an excellent resource for orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine specialists confronted with these common injuries of the Wrist.
