Le Patologie del Gomito

Large-format volume (22 x 28), 960 pages, 1,260 illustrations and numerous tables. Printed on special paper and bound in skivertex with gold and pastel embossing.

This new edition is a definitive and detailed reference on the elbow and the main conditions associated with it. It covers topics such as cartilage transplantation and new arthroscopy applications. The book also includes expanded and reorganised lessons on elbow arthroplasty, together with updated content drawn from previous editions, supported by extensive new illustrations.

Bernard F. Morrey, together with Drs Andrew An and Edward Chao, approached the elbow in a systematic way by defining anatomy, analysing motion, determining forces, and identifying the elements contributing to joint stability. Research in this field has directly influenced improved surgical approaches, including arthroscopic techniques, more robust functional assessment, a clearer understanding of fractures and dislocations, and insights for prosthetic implant design.

The volume relies on a large group of expert contributors and addresses a broad range of topics, from embryology and phylogeny to paediatric conditions, overuse problems, neuromuscular deficits, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal oncology. It is recommended for readers seeking completeness, bibliographic sources, technical guidance, and clinically useful insights.
