This text takes a unique, high-yield approach to reconstruction of the hand and upper extremity. Liberally illustrated with over 300 color drawings and numerous case examples, the book presents over 100 algorithms offering reconstructive pathways together with a comprehensive atlas of flaps for repair, focussing on advantages, disadvantages and pearls and pitfalls associated with each technique and illustrated with plentiful clinical examples. The book includes operative DVDs, a bonus e-book version, and numerous cadaver dissections to show operative details.
