Orthopedic surgeons? lack of familiarity with these injuries is one of the factors contributing to failed or delayed diagnosis.  This richly illustrated book covers all types of wrist dislocation and fracture-dislocation. Detailed information is provided on anatomy and biomechanics, while terminology and classification of injuries are explained. Treatment options are thoroughly analysed, with special emphasis on surgical treatment, which is presented step by step. All of the figures ? radiological and surgical ? relate to patients treated by the author himself. Most of the cases are from the Red Cross Hospital of Athens that admits many patients with such injuries, in part through referral from other centres due to the author?s acknowledged expertise in the field. This volume, with its highly informative and up-to-date chapters and reviews, and a wealth of color figures, will be of great practical value for clinicians and residents in orthopedic surgery, who assist them in daily decision making. 606 $aWrist$xWounds and injuries 606 $aWrist$xSurgery 615 0$aWrist$xWounds and injuries. 615 0$aWrist$xSurgery. 676 $a617.57 700 $aApergis$b Emmanuel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0926170 702 $aMoritomo$b Hisao 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437997003321 996 $aFracture-Dislocations of the Wrist$92079567 997 $aUNINA
