This book describes the development of portable, wearable, and highly customizable hand exoskeletons to aid patients suffering from hand disabilities. It presents an original approach for the design of human hand motion assistance devices that relies on (i) an optimization-based kinematic scaling procedure, which guarantees a significant adaptability to the user's hands motion, and (ii) a topology optimization-based design methodology, which allowed the design of a lightweight, comfortable device with a high level of performance. The book covers the whole process of hand exoskeleton development, from establishing a new design strategy, to the construction and testing of hand exoskeleton prototypes, using additive manufacturing techniques. As such, it offers timely information to both researchers and engineers developing human motion assistance systems, especially wearable ones.

The aim of this book is not only to help climbers and coaches gain a better understanding of medical consultations, but also to offer insights into practical treatment. As regards the medical field, the explanation of the different forces exerted on fingers during climbing allows better assessment of the causes of injuries and can help injured climbers adjust when they return to training. Despite their small size and fragility, fingers are essential in rock-climbing. The publication of this book was motivated by the numerous possible injuries and the required treatments, as well as the desire to connect medicine to this field. Combining scientific and medical research offers a new approach to training and practice. Indeed, promoting cooperation between specialists and coaches for the benefit of climbers can reduce the risk of lesions and improve training.

La chirurgie de la main et des nerfs périphériques est un domaine spécialisé de la chirurgie reconstructrice de l'appareil locomoteur sans pour autant n'être qu'une affaire de spécialistes : tout médecin peut y être confronté que ce soit durant ou après sa formation. Cet ouvrage se veut un outil de consultation et de communication entre les uns et les autres. Ce volume, consacré aux urgences, a pour objectif d'orienter l'interne ou le praticien non spécialiste face aux situations courantes rencontrées en urgence, qu'elles soient absolues, relatives ou différées. De la classification des lésions à leur traitement, les chapitres structurés et allant à l'essentiel sont illustrés d'exemples cliniques et de schémas pour une prise en charge rapide et efficace. Un autre volume, complément indispensable, est consacré au diagnostic et à la chirurgie des séquelles post-traumatiques, des maladies et des malformations de la main et du poignet. L'idée directrice est d'orienter au mieux le médecin de premier recours sur les possibilités thérapeutiques des pathologies fréquentes et celles moins courantes qu'il peut être initialement amené à prendre en charge.

A specialist in hand surgery will not be available at all hospitals for some years. In the meantime, the fate of the patient will continue to rest in the hands of the surgeon who first treats him. It is essential, therefore, that both the novice and the accomplished surgeon have a sound grasp of the diagnostic and therapeutic fundamentals of hand surgery. The material in this book is presented in a clear, practical manner by a general surgeon who has successfully practiced hand surgery; the result is an especially useful and rewarding book. Many acute situations in hand surgery are not as complicated as they appear to be, whereas other problems can be handled only after much study and experience. Based on his experience with over 7000 general and emergency opera­ tions yearly at the Ludwigshafen Surgical Clinic and after years of inten­ sive work in the field of hand surgery, my medical chief, Dr. H. R. Mittelbach, has taken the time and trouble to write this handbook for general and clinical practice. For the practicing surgeon and especially the resident, the most important aspects of the treatment of hand injuries have been presented in a clear, concise manner. The didactic excellence of the material, its novel format, and the simple yet forceful drawings that obviate lengthy text descriptions enable the reader to become quickly oriented. However, the book is more thanjust a'cookbook'for quick reference.

L'évolution de la chirurgie de la main en urgence depuis une vingtaine d'années est considérable. Les pathologies lourdes liées à des accidents du travail et qui impliquaient souvent des amputations totales se font plus rares. Les évolutions techniques et instrumentales, la réparation microchirurgicale des éléments vasculo-nerveux, ainsi que l'apparition de systèmes d'ancrage des ligaments et tendons ont orienté la pratique vers des interventions de haute technicité en milieu spécialisé. Ce traité pour objectif d'établir une synthèse actuelle des connaissances de la chirurgie de la main en urgence, des principes aux techniques opératoires. Les premiers chapitres sont consacrés à des données de base : anesthésie, microcirculation et microchirurgie, instrumentation, bilan lésionnel et stratégie. Puis sont envisagés les lésions et leurs traitements : entorses, fractures, revascularisation, perte de substance et lambeaux, amputations, ongle traumatique, plaies des nerfs. Sont également traités les replantations (doigts ou mains), le doigt-banque, ainsi que les pansements. Cette 3e édition a été entièrement actualisée. Riche de près de 1000 clichés et dessins chirurgicaux remarquables, elle est désormais intégralement en couleurs. Par sa précision et sa rigueur, cet ouvrage constitue une référence exceptionnelle, indispensable aux chirurgiens orthopédistes et chirurgiens de la main en formation ou désireux d'actualiser leur connaissance, ainsi qu'aux médecins de rééducation, kinésithérapeutes, ergothérapeutes et orthésistes.

Malgré leur petite taille et leur fragilité, les doigts sont les outils essentiels à la progression du grimpeur. La multiplicité des lésions possibles et leur « réparation » nous ont amenés à réaliser cet ouvrage. Réaliser le lien médecine – terrain est notre objectif. La recherche scientifique et médicale peut apporter un regard différent sur la pratique et sur l'entraînement. La collaboration médecin spécialiste – entraîneur, toute au bénéfice des sportifs, permet de limiter les risques de lésion et d'avancer dans le domaine de l'entraînement. Notre ouvrage doit permettre au sportif, à l'entraîneur, de comprendre la consultation médicale, nous voulons également apporter une réflexion sur le déroulement de la pratique. Dans le domaine médical, l'explication des forces exercées sur les doigts et les mouvements doit permettre une meilleure compréhension des circonstances de la lésion et donner au grimpeur des indications sur la reprise de l'entraînement.

The field of hand surgery deals with both surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions and problems that may take place in the hand or upper extremity (commonly from the tip of the hand to the shoulder). Hand surgery may be practiced by graduates of general surgery, orthopedic surgery and plastic surgery. Plastic surgeons are particularly well suited to handle traumatic hand and digit amputations that require a'replant'operation. Hand surgeons perform a wide variety of operations such as fracture repairs, releases, transfer and repairs of tendons and reconstruction of injuries, rheumatoid deformities and congenital defects. This new and important book gathers the latest research from around the globe in the study of hand surgery and focuses on such topics as: stem cell applications in hand surgery, tissue engineering for bone repair in the hand, intramedullary fixation of distal radius fractures and others.

This volume discusses the most important problems in surgery of the nerves and tendons, and in congenital, inflammatory and occupational disorders of the hand and those upper extremity disorders affecting the hand.
