This book provides the necessary information for surgeons to diagnose and treat fractures that occur in the pediatric and adult hand, written by experts who routinely care for these injuries. It is imperative that treating healthcare providers understand the nuances that will be presented throughout the book to avoid missing a diagnosis, mistreating a fracture as a minor injury, or risking other common pitfalls and potential complications. Part one covers pediatric hand fractures and begins with a review of the anatomy and osseous development of the hand, followed by physical and radiographic evaluation. Subsequent chapters focus on all areas of the hand, including metacarpal, phalangeal and fingertip fractures. Part two takes a similar approach to the adult hand, opening with physical and radiographic evaluation and then proceeding to a more in-depth discussion of each type and area of fracture. Arthroscopic and WALANT procedures for hand fractures are also presented here, as are rehabilitation strategies and orthoses. Fractures that occur in the hand are typically treated by numerous providers, and therefore Pediatric and Adult Hand Fractures: A Clinical Guide to Management has wide applicability, including orthopedic surgeons, emergency department/urgent care center providers, general practitioners, plastic surgeons, and fellows and trainees in all of these areas.

"The intricate balance of the intrinsic and extrinsic soft tissue structure and boney scaffold of the hand, coupled with 31 articulating services in the hand and wrist can lead to significant surgical challenges. Providing surgeons with technical pearls to overcome these challenges is the primary focus of Problems in Hand Surgery by internationally renowned hand surgeons Michael W. Neumeister, Michael Sauerbier, and an impressive group of contributors. Organized by 29 sections and 90 chapters, this comprehensive book focuses on secondary hand surgeries to optimize hand form and function in patients with challenging trauma- and disorder-related hand issues. Among the many topics addressed are problems associated with nonunion, malunion, dysvascular limbs, trauma-related degenerative changes, stiffness, tendon dysfunction, joint disruption, nerve injury, neuropathy, vasospasm, fractures, and osteoarthritis".
