%X The work has been almost entirely rewritten with much greater emphasis upon the causes and manifestations of injuries to nerves, particularly iatrogenic injuries.The book contains 14 chapters, covering basic information: anatomy, microscopic structure, reactions to injury, regeneration and recovery, clinical aspects of nerve injury and clinical neurophysiology, detailed information on operating on peripheral nerves and an important chapter covering aspects of rehabilitation. Special comprehensive attention is applied to brachial plexus injuries, both adult lesions but more in particular to birth lesions. This edition is richly illustrated, a great number in color. Each chapter is followed by numerous references.Thus a new landmark is available for those who are interested in the back ground of brachial plexus and nerve surgery. This book reflects the personal ideas of a great teacher and a gifted surgeon richly illustrated by results from surgeons who worked in the past in this subject.
