Reconstructive Surgery of the Hand
and Upper Extremity 1st Edition
Highly Commended by the BMA Medical
Book Awards for Surgery!
Reconstructive surgery of the upper
extremity has progressed
significantly due to advances in
microsurgical techniques, which
include the increased popularity of
perforator flaps, refinements in
functional free muscle transfer, the
application of nerve conduits and
nerve allografts, motor nerve
transfers, and hand transplantation.
These innovations have helped
surgeons achieve functional
reconstruction goals and enabled
patients' return to normal
functioning earlier than previously
possible.
Reconstructive Surgery
of the Hand and Upper Extremity
presents a unique, color-coded
roadmap for managing the complex
upper extremity patient, based on a
logical approach to surgical
decision-making. Authors Gunter
Germann, Randolph Sherman, and L.
Scott Levin deliver seven
systematically organized sections
and 69 chapters with versatile,
evidence-based guidelines and
techniques. Strategic approaches and
a video chapter covering patient
examination reflect the collective
wisdom gleaned from the authors'
experience in the care of the upper
extremity patient.
