This oral board review book is not a patchwork of isolated facts or a simplified primer, but a compilation of 37 thought-provoking case studies splendidly woven together in a single source. It is a “must have” review book for ALL neurosurgeons preparing for the oral board examination, and will prove to be an eye-opening refresher for residents preparing for their written examination based on the number of clinical scenarios increasingly popping up on this exam.

The clinical evaluation of upper extremity peripheral nerve abnormalities is oftentimes the most dreaded part of the physical examination for medical professionals of all vintages. The complex anatomy and overlapping symptomatology of the many possible differential conditions seems to add to this negative sentiment.  This volume provides a superb, yet concise, illustrative review of what every provider needs to know for their board examinations and clinical practice.
