Description
Every shoulder condition that is affected by the rotator cuff is covered in this new text. In this reference, a group of internationally known surgeons present the latest techniques and theories for managing these problems. The presentation is done with careful clinical focus and individualization of these techniques. Shoulder pain is the second most common malady of the musculoskeletal system. This book provides the orthopaedic surgeon with the knowledge to perform shoulder surgery from arthroscopy to complex shoulder reconstruction. Many techniques and theories not previously covered are presented in this book. Clinicans will be able to individualize their own techniques and treatment of their patients.

Content
Part 1 History of cuff repair: the rotator cuff - an historical review of our understanding. Part 2 Basic science and the rotator cuff: anatomy of the rotator cuff; pathophysiology of rotator cuff degeneration, calcification and repair; biomechanics of the rotator cuff. Part 3 Evaluation and classification of cuff lesions: evaluation of the painful shoulder with reference to entities that may be confused with rotator cuff disease; imaging of the rotator cuff; classification of rotator cuff tears. Part 4 Clinical disorders: coracoacromial arch impingement syndromes; the acromioclavicular joint and its relationship to rotator cuff disease; the biceps tendon and rotator cuff disease; anterior instability and its relationship to cuff disease in throwing athletes; partial-thickness cuff tears; the rotator interval lesion; posterosuperior glenoid impingement; disruption of the subscapularis; calcifying tendinitis; frozen shoulder syndrome - frozen shoulder, idiopathic chronic adhesive capsulitis, post-traumatic stiff shoulder and painful stiff shoulder. Part 5 Conservative treatment of cuff defects and impingement syndrome: conservative management of partial-thickness rotator cuff lesions; management of rotator cuff tears. Part 6 Surgical management of small to large cuff tears: arthroscopic subacromial decompression, arthroscopic-assisted (mini-open) rotator cuff repair and arthroscopic cuff repair. Part 7 Surgical management of massive cuff tears and degeneration: a unified biomechanical rationale for the treatment of rotator cuff tears - debridement versus repair; open debridement of the massive degenerative cuff tear; anterior acromioplasty, tendon mobilization and direct repair of massive rotator cuff tears; subscapularis transfer for management of massive rotator cuff tears; teres minor transfer; biceps transfer interposition grafting in massive rotator cuff tears; deltoid muscular flap transfer for massive defects of the rotator cuff; latissimus dorsi transfer for massive cuff defects; trapezius transfer; allograft repairs; repair of chronic massive rotator cuff tears with Teflon felt; the end result - functional assessment of rotator cuff repair; management of failed rotator cuff repairs.
