Our new book focuses on treating elbow pathology. It is not an in depth, complete
review of any topic; many such texts have already been written! Elbow work is team
work is instead organized in succinct, clear and structured fashion. Each chapter
is summarized in highlighted boxes. If you are, like many, short of time and books
risk getting lost in stacks of paperwork on your desk; just grab the book, read all
the summary boxes, and give yourself a current update in basic elbow pathology in
thirty minutes!

A close collaboration between different specialties involved in patient elbow care is
essential for optimal treatment. Our author group represents all essential specialties.
I am indebted to this group of dear colleagues and friends who shared their expertise
in treating elbow injuries. It is their contribution which has made this textbook an
important step in the continued advancement of the treatment of elbow pathology.
I admire their endless enthusiasm to further improve patient care in elbow surgery.
