Perhaps the most valuable part of the book is the description of the anatomical relations that underlie the aetiology of the canicular syndromes. The beauty of this book is its simplicity and clear structure, which is achieved without any loss of factual knowledge. well suited for medical students who want to learn about these common diagnoses and orthopaedic surgeons who wan to keep up with the developments in the specialty. Other medical specialties involved in the diagnosis or treatment of patients with tunnel syndromes would also benefit from this book. - The Lancet, May 25, 2002 Read the reviews from previous editions This compact, yet thorough, book covers the essentials of diagnosing and treating peripheral nerve compression syndromesfactual, to the point, and easy to readaccurate and clearly writtenI would recommend this book -Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy The book is clearly structured, as each tunnel syndrome is presented in a separate chapter including: anatomy, etiology, clinical symptoms and signs, treatment and references.
