Atlas of Shoulder Arthroscopy

With the huge growth of interest in shoulder surgery over the last 25 years has come a realization that some operations are best conducted arthroscopically. An Atlas of Shoulder Arthroscopy aims to be a practical guide to the considerations involved in each operation with the expectation that some of the more advanced techniques presented here may turn into more commonly utilized procedures in the near future. A companion book to An Atlas of Shoulder Surgery , this book is illustrated in colour throughout and features the very latest refinements in techniques from contributing experts. Divided into sections, the book begins with an introduction including an historical perspective, basic science and diagnostic techniques. The therapeutic sections continue with an excellent review of the diagnostic arthroscopy and approaches to arthroscopic knot tying. Arthroscopic techniques are presented for the treatment of instability and labral pathology, impingement and posterosuperior rotator cuff pathology, subscapularis tears, acromioclavicular joint arthritis, calcific tendonitis, biceps pathology, frozen shoulder, ganglion cysts, osteoarthritis, inflammatory synovitis and tumors, and scapulothoracic conditions. In addition, a CD-ROM, including video clips for a number of the techniques described in the textbook will allow the reader to take another step closer to the successful application of techniques for arthroscopic shoulder surgery.Fu, Freddie H. is the author of 'Atlas of Shoulder Arthroscopy' with ISBN 9781841840017 and ISBN 1841840017.
