This review is from: The Thumb (The Hand and Upper Limb) (Hardcover)
This book was about the various ailments of the thumb and many of the surgeries to correct problems; it was made up of a dozen or so papers contributed by various professionals in the field of the thumb. It was very informative, had many helpful photos and was of general high quality all around. With a copyright of 1994 it is slightly dated but, as far as I could tell, is still very applicable today. The pages were made of robust paper and the book had what seemed to be an encyclopedia/library binding.
There was a very nice introductory paper discussing the history of the various surgeries of the thumb, as well as the next paper which discussed the mobility and movement of the thumb. Subsequent papers went into various topics, all primarily based in diagnosing and fixing (usually through surgery) the different problems that various people have with their thumbs. I am not a surgeon (although the editor says that he wrote it for surgeons) and I don't have a medical background, but I found the book remarkably easy to read (just have a dictionary on hand!). I had ordered the book because I had a certain problem with my thumb that I have lived with my whole life, and wanted to know what it was before wasting time with the excellent but expensive medical system we have here in the US. Sure enough, after pouring through the 200 page book in a few hours, I found my problem. I also found that I'd bought a great book that was worth the money even if I didn't have a specific reason for buying it.
