Full Description
Filling an existing gap, this comprehensive yet practical book reviews the use of gold standard, novel and future techniques of vascularized bone grafts for upper extremity bone reconstruction.
It covers both traumatic and oncological reconstruction and puts particular emphasis on those factors, guiding the choice of the most suitable technique: the etiology and the anatomical region of the defect as well as the recipient area and the flap planning. For each flap technique, using either pedicled or free flap, the authors present indications, step-by-step procedure, pearls, pits & pitfalls and complications.
Written by renowned experts in the field this book is an invaluable reference guide for hand, upper extremity and plastic surgeons and traumatologists alike.
