Stiffness of the Elbow, Wrist and Related Pathologies

This book presents the most current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to manage elbow and wrist stiffness, conditions of pathological anatomical damage that severely limit daily activities.

Readers will discover possible causes, most current classification systems, clinical and instrumental evaluations, as well as therapeutic choices from the conservative treatment to the prosthetic implant.

Moreover, a dedicated section will be devoted to associated injuries that can complicate both the diagnosis and treatment.

Published in collaboration with ISAKOS,  this book will be of interest to orthopedists, sports physicians and physiotherapists wishing to deepen their knowledge in the complex field of upper limb functionality.
