The volume contains essential information on elective (non-emergency) hand surgery practice. The author, M Merle, a world authority in surgery of the rheumatoid hand, synthesizes the depth of his experience into the book, and presents the management of these conditions in a clear manner. All the elective procedures are described in great detail and depth. The quality of the illustrations is outstanding.

There are very few textbooks on elective hand surgery and this will be an essential resource for hand surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, rheumatologists and physiotherapists.
