ELITE TECHNIQUES IN SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY

Description

Ideal for shoulder surgeons who want to upgrade their skillsto the next level, this practical, step-by-step text presents the latestcutting-edge management strategies and science aimed at shoulder preservationsurgery. Highlighting four main areas - the overhead athlete, shoulderinstability, glenohumeral arthritis, and the rotator cuff - these innovativetechniques focus on the maintenance of the native shoulder joint. Chapters openwith an introduction to the clinical problem, followed by misgivings related toopen surgery or arthroplasty as treatment strategies. A rationale for thearthroscopic treatment is then presented, along with an in-depth description ofthe technique itself as well as preliminary results. Techniques presented includeposterior capsule release for the overhead athlete, arthroscopic Latarjet forinstability, the CAM procedure for glenohumeral arthritis, biologicalaugmentation for rotator cuff repair. A fifth section covers post-operativecare and return-to-play considerations. With contributions from many of the topthinkers and surgeons of the shoulder, Elite Techniques in Shoulder Arthroscopybrings these exciting new management strategies to the fore with the aim ofelevating them to more common practice for orthopedic surgeons and sportsmedicine specialists.

Feature:

• Presents the most current, cutting-edge advanced techniques in shoulder preservation surgery and science

• Covers management of the overhead athlete, shoulder instability, glenohumeral arthritis, and rotator cuff, as well as post-operative care and considerations
