Treatment of Elbow Lesions: New Aspects in Diagnosis and Surgical Techniques is a textbook that originated from an international symposium convened under the direction of Andrea Celli and Luigi Celli in Modena, Italy.

A majority of the chapters are authored by recognized leaders in the field of reconstructive elbow surgery; therefore, the information encompasses the most relevant and current concepts.
