Opis

The simplicity of the term nerve compression belies its complexity in evaluation and management. Compression neuropathies are being identified with increasing frequency in the upper extremity. This text reviews specific compression entrapment syndromes and will allow the surgeon to better evaluate even the most perplexing patient with painful upper extremities and normal electrodiagnostic findings. With extensive diagrams and illustrations throughout, the editors have drawn together an international list of contributors to produce Nerve Compression Syndromes of the Upper Limb. This comprehensive text will assist the surgeon in managing the most common compression neuropathies in all patients from the everyday worker to the musician and the athlete.
