Summary:"Hand and upper extremity anatomy forms the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the physiology and pathologic conditions which influence function of the upper limb. Importantly, the intricate relationships and interactions between these diverse tissues define our unique capabilities for human function. The study of anatomy is analogous to the study of art; one must understand anatomy in order to appreciate it--in order to understand anatomy, however, one must appreciate its complexity of form and function, not withstanding its variations and anomalies. In an era where time spent in the anatomy laboratory has been de-emphasized within the medical education curriculum, an appreciation for anatomic relationships gained from a hands-on experience may suffer; a lack of awareness for anatomic detail may translate into the unfortunate consequence of a less detailed clinical assessment or a compromised treatment plan"--Provided by publisher
