The Hand

This forms the foundation volume of a major library in Hand Surgery. Each chapter of "Diagnosis and Indications" refers to titles in the library, written on the techniques of operative surgery in injury, reconstruction, compression and so on. There is a volume in each of the seven core areas of hand surgery identified in the "Diagnosis" volume, each of these succeeding volumes deals exclusively with operative aspects and assumes the reader has access to the "Diagnosis" text. Thus this text is necessary for all those intending to buy the operative volumes.
