The book is thoroughly illustrated with full-color, sequential, surgeon's-eye view intraoperative photographs, as well as drawings by noted medical illustrators. This edition includes new techniques for arthroscopic treatment of a variety of conditions and novel fixation methods for distal radius and scaphoid fractures and nonunions.
