Shoulder Arthroscopy (Hardback)

The purpose of this book is to provide both new and experienced orthopedic surgeons with the fundamentals of shoulder arthroscopy, enabling them to perform basic, advanced, and complex arthroscopic shoulder procedures to benefit their patients. Starting with a complete history, physical examination, and proper imaging studies, most patients will respond to non-operative management of their shoulder problem. For those who require surgery, having a systematic approach to treating patients with shoulder arthroscopy, as detailed in this book, will enable both the beginner and the advanced surgeon to acquire the skills necessary for not only basic shoulder arthroscopy but also more advanced techniques. This includes operating room setup and personnel, proper anesthesia techniques, performing a 15-point diagnostic arthroscopy and an 8-point bursoscopy, recognizing normal anatomy and anatomical variants, and accessory portal placement for more advanced techniques.
