Synopsis

Featuring over 500 illustrations--143 in full color--this volume provides definitive guidance on evaluation, repair, and rehabilitation of shoulder instability. Leading experts describe today's most successful surgical and nonsurgical approaches to acute dislocations; recurrent instability; multidirectional instability; instability in throwing athletes; fracture dislocations; dislocations associated with rotator cuff tears; instability following prosthetic arthroplasty; and many other conditions. The comprehensive coverage includes pertinent anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology; diagnostic studies; open and arthroscopic surgical procedures; and innovative techniques such as heat shrinkage of collagen. The contributors guide the clinician through every phase of patient management, from initial presentation to long-term rehabilitation. Their practical advice will help the reader conduct a thorough clinical examination; establish the differential based on the cause of injury; select appropriate diagnostic imaging studies; fine-tune surgical and nonsurgical interventions according to each patient's unique circumstances; and prevent and manage complications. The illustrations include surgical figures, diagrams, radiographs, and endoscopic images
