The anatomy of the shoulder is based on complex joint
biomechanics, which guarantee the coexistence of both maximum
mobility and stability within the same joint. In recent years,
diagnostic techniques such as magnetic resonance and arthroscopy
have made it possible to study and better interpret those fine
anatomical structures which were formerly very difficult to
appreciate through "open surgery" dissection techniques that would
compromise their integrity.
Difficulties of technical nature, which today have been overcome
thanks to technology, delayed the use of endoscopy in shoulder
treatment thus filling the gap previously existing if compared with
other joints surgery (i.e., knee). Shoulder arthroscopy, exploiting
anatomical integrity, has contributed with excellent results to the
identification of those structures that have been given little
descriptive importance in classical texts.
The purpose of this Atlas is to focus the reader s attention on
a series of bone, ligament, muscle and tendon structures and
ultrastructures on which only the most recent international
literature has reported in specialized journals. This Atlas also
presents extremely high-definition images of "targeted" sections
obtained from cadavers preserved using state-of-art techniques.
This unique Atlas, making use of images of major visual impact,
offers a scientific message on a topical joint, using simple but
dedicated descriptive language.
Among the various aims of this volume, the authors intend to
present the shoulder anatomy in a new and original way and want to
help the reader to understand the complexity of scientific
research, highlightening the importance of the integration of
anatomical, biomechanical, and neurophysiological knowledge.
The text is intended to complete the most recent and current
anatomical studies of scientific research, enhancing those minimal
structures to which a precise and clear mechanical and neurological
role is now being attributed."
