Upper Extremity Textbook Cover

Acute Management of Hand InjuriesAn avid writer, Dr. Rohde is the author of many publications, medical and otherwise.

 

Evaluation and Management of Common Upper Extremity Disorders: A Practical Handbook, is a collaborative effort with Steadman Clinic orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Peter Millett. User-friendly and pocket-sized, this text provides information on how to diagnose, treat, and manage the most commonly encountered conditions of the upper extremity. It will be a welcome addition to the library of any general orthopaedic surgeon, resident, fellow, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or nonoperative sports medicine specialist.

 

Dr. Rohde's first book, Acute Management of Hand Injuries, is a joint effort with one of her mentors, Dr. Andrew J. Weiland, Past President of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, and the American Orthopaedic Association.

 

Orthopaedic conditions are among the most commonly evaluated complaints in the emergent and urgent care settings as well as in that of primary care. Many are acute problems involving the hand or wrist, an area of complex anatomy and function. Often, patients are evaluated by health care providers who might not have had the exposure or training to assess and manage certain complaints appropriately with confidence. This book iswritten for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, resident physicians, and students who provide care in emergency room, urgent care, and primary practice settings, as well as orthopaedic surgeons who are not hand specialists. It is intended to be a concise, basic reference for the non-hand specialist to aid in the initial management of acute hand complaints.
