Product Description:

Scaphoid problems account for much of the disability associated with wrist injury. Dr.Joseph Slade III has organized an issue of the Atlas of the Hand Clinics that provides fresh approaches to the old problems of scaphoid fracture, scaphoid nonunion, scapho-lunate dissociation, and scaphoid salvage.
Dr. Slade is a pioneer in percutaneous scaphoid fixation surgery, and his innovative approach shines through in this issue. New information and technical pearls on a variety of percutaneous techniques abound. This collection of articles updates the current state of scaphoid surgery and serves as a how-to primer for wrist surgeons. Five of the first seven articles address the indications, methods, and results of percutaneous stabilization through a variety of approaches. Krimmer and Sarris emphasize the more traditional approaches. Dr. Rosenwasser presents his RASL procedure for scapho-lunate instability; this article and the three that follow it offer strategies to solve scaphoid nonunion, including those complicated by avascular necrosis. The final four articles complete the cycle of scaphoid salvage.
In this issue of the Atlas of the Hand Clinics, Dr. Slade and his collaborators present a comprehensive cradle-to-grave approach to the problems of the scaphoid.
