  I recently purchased this 127 page 3rd edition handbook(pun intended) although there is a 4th edition available, for my second fieldwork rotation in order to get a better grasp (getting punnier) on than hand, its anatomy and the various diagnoses that I could potential see within the following 12 weeks and throughout my career. It is a very easy read as it provides information on evaluating common hand diseases and injuries. In particular, this text provides sections on examining the fingertip and nailbed, carpus, and flexor tendon sheath, as well as information for 2-point discrimination testing and circulation examinations. Definitely worth the purchase if interested in hand therapy.
  Further, the text is broken into two parts: examination and common clinical problems. These two parts are broken further into separate chapters as follows:
  Introduction
  Part I: Examination
  1. History and General Examination
  2. Examination of Specific Systems
  Part II: Common Clinical Problems
  3. Lacerations
  4. Common Fractures and Dislocations
  5. Acquired Deformities
  6. Congenital Anomalies
  7. Tumors
  8. Infection
  The text also includes 3 appendices, further suggested readings and an index.
