Wrist Functional Anatomy and Therapy

This book developed from the experience of the ISAMMS team (Institut Sud Aquitain de la Main et du Membre Supérieur), that has been treating hand and wrist pathologies for over 20 years.
Hand and wrist require specific care from a multidisciplinary staff. The patient has to be treated efficiently from injury in order to be able to return to work and sports activities.
This second volume covers the functional anatomy of the wrist, as well as the most up to date knowledge regarding the surgical and orthopaedic protocols for treating wrist pathologies.
This publication is intended for physiotherapists and occupational therapists, surgeons and practitioners specialised in physical rehabilitation, as well as for the students in those fields.
