About the Book

Managing Upper Limb Musculoskeletal Problems: A Companion Guide for Primary Care brings together the experience of an international multidisciplinary team of orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, physiotherapists and other specialists to provide an accessible, evidence-based reference for everyday clinical practice.

Covering the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, the book is designed to answer the questions that matter when a patient is in front of you: What is the likely diagnosis? What should I look for on examination? Which special tests are useful? When is imaging appropriate? What can be managed conservatively? When should I refer?
