Manual of Fracture Management—Hand

Jesse B Jupiter | Fiesky Nuñez | Renato Fricker

The Manual of Fracture Management—Hand has been produced to introduce the latest techniques in hand surgery to new and experienced surgeons.

As part of this publication, 26 instructional videos have been provided from the existing AO Foundation education video library, outlining a wide range of surgical approaches and demonstrating a variety of techniques for the treatment of common hand injuries.
