About this title

Review

"Every conceivable topic related to the operative treatment of the hand is covered in depth...A well organized, well written scientific reference...Highly recommend." -JBJS Without doubt Green's is a mandatory investment for residents, practitoners, and educators alike in the field of hand surgery. With its gamut of Web capabilities, the multimedia e-dition combines cutting-edge publishing technology with state-of-the-art science in hand surgery. JAMA, August 2005 "Green's real value is cloaked in its authors' ability to clearly define each hand-related disorder as it escorts the reader into deeper exploration of these subjects. Unlike those typical "how to" references or yesteryear, this book addresses the core of each affliction along with all appropriate surgical-repair options, bringing the physician to a better overall understanding of the upper extremities." (The Electric Review, January/February 2006)
