written by Millesi and Terzis who have now produced and discussed the nomenclature that can be used with agreement throughout the world. From this excellent start the contents are divided into four parts. The first on morphological characteristics covers a number of different topics including mechanical injury to peripheral nerves, current models for nerve research, effects of freezing peripheral nerves, the effects of repeated denervation, the physiological assessment of nerve injuries and the anatomy of vascularized nerve grafts. The second part contains three excellent chapters on the mechanisms of pain, the management of the painful upper extremity and stump neuromas. The third part which makes up practically half of the volume covers the microreconstruction of brachial plexus injuries with discussion of the anatomy, clinical management and results, of both supraclavicular lesions and ANGUSHUGHES infraclavicular lesions and the experimental experience of vasJ.

Half the questions were above the heads of most final year medical students and perhaps it would be of benefit to link this excellent book and other books in the series to wellknown standard textbooks. This would help a little more in revision and learning. It is very definitely a first-class revision aid aimed at final year and postgraduate students. The questions are fun to answer and readily stimulate discussion and argument between students. The book is bargain priced and we recommend it is used by undergraduates and junior trainees in orthopaedic surgery.
