Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is a multi author book, largely from Italy and the USA. ... this is a useful book for surgeons, offering a wealth of technical advice about the treatment of a common condition in our practice. It will be particularly useful to those who wish to review their technique for carpal tunnel decompression or revision surgery. The book provides a useful template for assessing patients with complications arising from decompression. It is very much a book by surgeons for surgeons." (Frank D. Burke, Journal of Hand Surgery, 2007)
