I would highly recommend this title as a resource for the beginner to the experienced clinician. The reader will have not only have access to clear and concise instructions for fabrication but also numerous illustrations. The layout and design of book is well though out and allows for quick look ups. This edition provides alternative methods and designs for fabricating orthoses utilizing neoprene and customizing prefab options. Whether you are looking for a reference for stabilizing an uncomplicated digit fracture or fabrication of mobilization orthoses, this is it!! A must-have for the clinician tool box!

As a newer clinician this book is a great resource and guideline for all splinting and clinically related hand questions one may have!
