This text takes a clinical approach to peripheral nerve disorders and advises the clinician of the best approach to the repair of a peripheral nerve injury and the complications that might arise. The emphasis is thus on the practice of surgery and not on experimental research.
A comprehensive new reference work on the treatment of peripheral nerve lesions written by two of the leading surgeons in the field, Rolfe Birch and George Bonney, and an expert in pain control and rehabilitation, Christopher Wynn Parry. In addition there is an authoritative contribution from clinical neurophysiologist, Shelagh Smith. Representing the culmination of forty years of personal experience, and the analysis of one of the largest series of cases ever assembled in this field, this book provides a broad, wideranging survey of disorders of peripheral nerves, with a focus on those treatable by operation. The authors give detailed accounts of their own clinical and experimental research - much of which is published here for the first time - while acknowledging with over 2000 references, the work of other international authorities. Of particular note are the sections covering etiology and treatment of adult and neonatal injuries of the brachial plexus, the significance of iatropathic lesions, the recognition and evaluation of entrapment neuropathy, and neural anatomy and the response to injury.
Other important chapters are those devoted to pain, electrophysiological examination and peripheral nerve tumours. A central theme is consideration of the place of surgical management of peripheral nerve problems within the framework of clinical medicine. The importance of recognition of clinical signs and diagnosis, as well as pain management and rehabilitation are stressed. The book is thus intended not only for the specialist surgeon, but for all those, from many branches of medicine, who are involved in the care and rehabilitation of patients with peripheral nerve lesions. This text should have a wide market appeal - it is of particular interest to: orthopaedic and accident surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, paediatricians, and all those involved in the diagnosis and treatment of lesions of peripheral nerves, and the rehabilitation of patients. It stands to become the definitive reference text in its field. Features: * Clinical multi-disciplinary approach * Lavishly illustrated * Wide market appeal * Includes the latest information on: * Brachial plexus injuries in adults and infants * Nerve tumours * Iatropathic injuries * Nerve growth factors
