The Instrumentalist's Arm and Hand - Surgery and RehabilitationIan Winspur, Joan Warrington
Abstract: Experience shows that only 4% of musicians' hand and arm problems require surgery. By far, the commonest reason is trauma, car accidents, accidents at home, and sporting injuries. The second area involves specific focal degenerative or overuse conditions. This chapter reviews the role of surgery and subsequent rehabilitation in the treatment of musicians' injuries, exploring the surgical evaluation, indications, and modifications to surgical technique (e.g., anatomical restorations, incision sites), and results from large surgical series in musicians.
