Il Gomito – Aspetti Clinici e Riabilitazione

Large format (21.5 × 28 cm), 168 pages, 300 images.

Over the past decades, knowledge of elbow functional anatomy and traumatic and degenerative disorders has significantly expanded. New diagnostic and therapeutic protocols have improved clinical outcomes compared to the past.

Despite scientific progress, unsatisfactory outcomes are still observed after adequate surgical treatment, often due to poor patient information and incorrect functional rehabilitation.

Effective elbow rehabilitation requires active patient participation. Prolonged immobilization is not tolerated, and rehabilitation must begin as early as possible with short, repeated daily sessions.

This monograph aims to provide patients with the knowledge and guidance necessary to actively collaborate with physiotherapists and perform home-based rehabilitation exercises.

The concise yet precise discussion of major elbow pathologies, together with rich iconography, makes this text valuable also for physiotherapists, medical students and physicians.
