This volume covers the hand surgical techniques the non-specialist needs to peform. It takes a one-stop approach, with each illustration accompanied by a detailed, descriptive capition which eliminates the need for flipping back and forth through the text.

Atlas of Rheumatoid Arthritis is a high-quality educational initiative, written by leaders in the field of rheumatology, containing a collection of approximately 150 relevant images, with extended descriptive captions and a comprehensive bibliography. The Atlas of Rheumatoid Arthritis will provide clinicians with a visual guide to rheumatoid arthritis, focusing on assessment, diagnosis and treatment, including newer research into the signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of RA, before focusing on the treatment of RA. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common and most serious of the inflammatory arthritic disorders, and it dominates clinical rheumatological practice. Effective, early treatment is vital as this can slow the course of the disease and reduce joint damage. RA is usually treated using disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), most commonly methotrexate. The newest treatments target the disease-causing immune elements specifically and directly.

Updated and revised, this atlas provides clinical pictures, radiographs and histological specimens of the common and some of the less common conditions encountered in the field of rheumatology. It features expanded explanatory text and many new illustrations.

Featuring 800 illustrations--200 in full color--this atlas is a detailed step-by-step guide to the most successful surgical techniques for the hand and wrist. The first three chapters cover the use of flaps, nerve repair, and vascular and microvascular surgery. Subsequent chapters describe procedures for traumatic injuries, burns, post-traumatic conditions, bone necrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative disorders, infections, and congenital malformations. Coverage of each procedure includes technique, surgical anatomy, pitfalls, and alternatives.

This Atlas issue on RA of the wrist includes chapters on wrist arthroscopic synovectomy, reconstruction of Mannerfelt rupture, limited fusions, CT release, DRUJ reconstruction, flexor tendons and the Mannerfelt rupture and the Clayton procedure.
