Orthopaedic surgery of the hand and upper extremity is a domain where fine anatomical structures meet complex functional expectations. It is also an area where small oversights can carry profound medico-legal implications. The purpose of this book is not only to highlight technical standards but to illuminate the legal pitfalls that often go unnoticed until adverse outcomes emerge. Drawing from real case precedents, current guidelines, and surgical experiences, this text offers practical, factual, and structured insights into avoiding legal entanglements without compromising clinical care.
