Contains papers presented at a small gathering of hand surgeons in September 1986 at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children. The 18 papers do not comprise a comprehensive coverage, but report selected recent developments reflecting the expertise of individual authors. They discuss approaches and specific techniques for diagnosing and treating such conditions as tendon injuries, burns, fractures, the club hand, and vascular malformations. Well illustrated.
