An Evidence-Based Approach To The Fingertip Diseases (PDF)

An Evidence-Based Approach to the Fingertip Disease by Jerome, J. Terrence Jose (Author)

The first textbook written for all surgeons and physicians, An Evidence-Based Approach to the Fingertip Disease, helps them comprehend normal fingertips’ anatomy, embryology, histopathology, and microbiology. The authors have written lucidly with illustrative diagrams and pictures to narrate the nuances of the fingertip and its pathological.

Various studies and publications about fingertip injuries and amputations are available. The book editor, J. Terrence Jose Jerome, has written a chapter on surgical anatomy and classification of fingertip injuries that clarifies amputations based on anatomical structures and assists surgeons in the treatment plan.

Bacterial, fungal, and other infections of the fingertip are a critical topic for learning and effective treatment. A chapter has been dedicated to discussing infections of the fingertip. Surgical treatment of fingertip infections in the subsequent chapter briefly discusses the principle, techniques, procedures, and outcomes. Chapters on the management of fingertip amputations comprise advanced state-of-the-art techniques and different reconstructive options for surgeons. These options include conservative, reposition flaps, reconstructive flaps, microsurgery, and super microsurgery, and all components of the therapeutic armamentarium as the surgeon progresses to expert status. Dedicated chapters on thumb injuries, children’s fingertip anomalies and injuries, fractures, dislocations of the fingertip, benign and malignant tumors, connective tissue disorders, rehabilitation, splints, therapy, and medico-legal aspects of the fingertip accurately lend the book.
