We are practicing through an exciting time in hand surgery. Over the past several years, we are seeing an explosion in evidence-based studies challenging old practice dogma, exciting new treatment paradigms, the incorporation of new technologic innovations, and the increase in research evaluation of biologic solutions for old problems.
In this issue of the World Clinic of Orthopedics, we are fortunate to have several leading authors presenting various challenging problems in hand surgery. Topics will include the role and indication of locking technology, challenging hand surgery fractures, common tendon and nerve problems, and the evolving role of diagnostic studies.
This issue will not attempt to be comprehensive to all aspects of hand surgery, but rather explore some of the more challenging and interesting areas of discussion.
