This cutting-edge monograph on advanced clinical anatomy and
pathoanatomy of the shoulder, written by the world's leading
authors, reflects recent significant advances in understanding of
anatomy and pathology. It is beautifully illustrated with exquisite
photographs of anatomical specimens, and images from arthroscopy,
histology, and radiology complete the picture. The accompanying
text brings out the clinical, biomechanical, and functional
relevance and focuses on aspects important to the high-performance
athlete. In addition, the book closely assesses how each component
of the normal anatomy responds to trauma, disease, and
degeneration. The finer points of the pathoanatomy are demonstrated
with clinical cases, histology, radiology, arthroscopy, and open
surgery. The text details how the pathoanatomy affects the patient
presentation, clinical examination, and imaging. It is also
explained how the pathology affects the natural history and the
outcome of physical therapy and influences recommendations for
surgical treatments. This book will be of immense value both to
trainees and to specialists who manage disorders of the shoulder,
including orthopedic surgeons, sports physicians, and
physiotherapists. It will also be of great interest to anatomists
and pathologists.
Over the past few years, international literature has highlighted
the limitations of arthroscopic treatment for antero-inferior
instability of the shoulder. Therefore, the question arises as to
which technique – open surgery or arthroscopy – may represent
the best alternative to the classical arthroscopic capsuloplasty.
The volume is organized into five chapters and presents five
different techniques. Each chapter describes the non-surgical and
surgical algorithms for the treatment of unidirectional and
multidirectional antero-inferior instabilities, with and without
shoulder laxity. The chapters offer a detailed description of each
technique, enhanced by 10–15 high-definition photographs, tips
and tricks, and pitfalls, as well as surgical steps. The book is
aimed at medical students, fellows, specialists , orthopedic
surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation and generalist
physicians.
This book aims to equip physiotherapists rehabilitation specialists
and orthopedics to provide the best possible care for patients who
have undergone surgery for a range of the more common shoulder
pathologies, including fractures of the proximal third of the
humerus, arthritis and prosthesis of glenohumeral joint,
glenohumeral instability, rotator cuff lesions, other athletic
injuries of the shoulder. It does so by presenting information on
various aspects of the conditions and their surgical treatment and
explaining clearly how these are directly relevant to
rehabilitation. Among the topics covered are functional anatomy,
imaging, treatment indications, surgical techniques and materials,
peri- and postoperative complications, and communication with the
patient. The book will promote effective teamwork, conducted using
the same language, between the surgeon and the rehabilitator, and
will facilitate the development and implementation of a
rehabilitation program that has the best chance of effecting a
speedy and complete recovery in each individual case.
