Book excerpt: This volume, dealing with situations from a nailbed injury to an amputation or a gunshot wound and almost everything in between, is a comprehensive but simple manual, addressing the most frequent, and some of the not-so-frequent, emergencies in the field of hand surgery. Every chapter is written by a group of experienced hand surgeons from around the world, who will guide the reader on the management of a variety of different conditions and injuries. Some of the topics covered here include how to examine and treat an acute brachial plexus injury, learning how wrist biomechanics is applied to the management of acute carpal injuries, and performing wide-awake anesthesia with no tourniquet on an acutely injured hand, among many others.
