This illustrated reference details the various etiologic
mechanisms, clinical and laboratory evaluation, and operative techniques
(including interoperative electrophysiological studies and their
potential complications) involved in the treatment of major peripheral
nerve injuries, entrapments, and tumors of both the upper and lower
extremities. The book is unique in that it presents not only a
comprehensive review but also attempts to portray the results of
treatment. B&w and color surgical and clinical photos are included
on every page. This edition is updated to reflect the latest research
and techniques in the field, and includes a new chapter on iatrogenic
nerve injuries and anesthetic and positional palsies. Chapters on
reconstructive procedures, birth palsies, and thoracic outlet syndromes
have been substantially revised. There is new material on lower
extremity lesions. Kim teaches spinal neurosurgery and reconstructive
peripheral nerve surgery at Baylor College of Medicine.
