[it] is highly relevant to both practicing general orthopedic and plastic surgeons as well as to specialized hand surgeons. The book’s purpose is to detail the major conditions hand surgeons currently face. It also aims to review current treatment practices and relevant evidence.... [It] will be beneficial for upper-level medical students, residents, fellows, and physicians wanting to improve their knowledge of hand surgery topics.... This book is of high quality and is very useful for the intended audience of physicians. It provides an excellent overview of many conditions for general practitioners as well as specialized knowledge necessary for the intricate practice of hand surgery. This certainly fills a need for coverage of hand surgery previously not seen in textbooks. I recommend this book for both trainees and general practitioners learning about hand surgery as well as for experienced hand surgeons."
