Nerves and Nerve Injuries

This long overdue update of Sydney Sunderland's classic Nerves and Nerve Injuries is a must-have for clinicians and researchers dealing with the PNS and neuropathy. The third has been created as an edited work emphasizing the importance of considering the anatomical, physiological, pathological, and clinical aspects of the nervous system in concert for a better understanding of nerve injuries and their treatment. Constituting an organized review of our current understanding of peripheral nerve injury and repair, this edition also makes more readily available analyses of the various morphological and topographical aspects of the PNS. Major sections of the work will address: anatomical and physiological features of peripheral nerve fibers and nerve trunks; degeneration, regeneration a classification of nerve injury; clinico-pathological considerations; bones, joints, muscles, and motor function; peripheral sensory mechanisms; peripheral sympathetic mechanisms; diagnosis and treatment; and individual nerves. Long overdue update of the classic reference on nerves and nerve injuriesReviews the anatomical and physiologic features of peripheral nerves; mechanisms of degeneration and regeneration of nerve trunks; the cutaneous system, the sympathetic nervous system, and each peripheral nerve in the bodyAddresses clinic-pathologic considerations; considers nerve injuries on bones, joints, muscles, and motor function; and offers an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of nerve injuries.Content increased by 15 percent over the original work, richly illustrated with full color throughout, with a companion website hosting video footage of surgical procedures for appropriate chaptersEdited work with chapters authored by leaders in the field around the globe - the broadest, most expert coverage available.
