Full Description
The clinic, diagnosis and treatment of all common and rare nerve compression syndromes are also described in detail in the 4th edition of the book. Their treatment is an interdisciplinary task involving neurologists, neuroradiologists and surgeons from different specialties (hand surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthopaedic and trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons).
Further chapters deal with the electrophysiological and imaging procedures for diagnosis. Special forms and the differentiation from focal neuropathies of other causes are also included.
The surgical techniques are illustrated with numerous drawings and photographs. The SpringerNature MoreMedia app can also be used to access videos on sonographic examinations and surgical procedures.
A book that leaves no question unanswered on the subject of nerve compression syndrome!
