PRODUCT REVIEWS

The Journal of Hand Surgery "One of the main problems with scaphoid fractures, real and suspected, is that we over-treat many patients in our anxiety to avoid under-treating the ones which are going to give trouble. What we need most is better prediction of the outcome and Mr Herbert's classification is designed to provide this. The book will make every reader think afresh and is full of useful tips and observations. For those who, like me, are fascinated by this awkward little bone, this book is a must. Those who are not yet fascinated will be when they have read this book."   (May 1991) Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons in England "A highly readable, beautifully illustrated monograph about an exceedingly common clinical problem, written by a surgeon who has extensive experience with scaphoid fractures."   (March 1992)
