About this book

As arthroscopy becomes the gold standard of care in treating wrist problems, there is a vast need for an up-to-date practical guide on wrist arthroscopy. To fill that need, Dr. William Geissler has brought together an international group of eminent experts, who share their knowledge to present the full scope of all aspects of wrist arthroscopy. In 24 chapters, generously illustrated with over 300 images, 44 in full color, the book explores every clinically relevant aspect of wrist arthroscopy. This includes arthroscopic wrist anatomy and how to evaluate the painful wrist, arthroscopic management of carpal instability, fracture management, arthofibrosis, and arthroscopic tunnel release. Each chapter includes a brief overview followed by indications for the procedure and surgical techniques. In addition, the book features a section on tips and tricks and how to avoid common pitfalls.
