This review is from: Lister's The Hand: Diagnosis and Indications (Hardcover)

I have this last edition of the Lister's classical book,here you find the very specifical indication in hand's treatment and diagnosis, in some cases you may go to other books and have a very wide field in the pathology and treatment of hand injuries.
Maybe if u are full time in hand surgery you may buy The Green's Textbook, but for a plastic surgeon or orthopaedical surgeon( both in general practice) its a very wide and comprehensive book.

This review is from: Lister's The Hand: Diagnosis and Indications (Hardcover)

Lister's is a readable text on management of a comprehensive range of hand related conditions and injuries. Thouroughly recommend for trainees and surgeons in orthopaedics and Plastic and Reconstuctive Surgery. Greens is better as a reference for specific operations.
