Complex and Revision Problems in Shoulder Surgery

This volume is an essential source of guidance for orthopaedic surgeons confronted with complex and revision situations in shoulder surgery. The book is unique in its focus on difficult problems that cannot be solved by standardized treatment formulas and that require an individualized approach. Major sections cover shoulder instability, the stiff shoulder, rotator cuff tears, fractures, arthritic conditions, and miscellaneous problems such as scapular disorders, chronic trapezius dysfunction, shoulder infection, and deltoid injuries. Each chapter is written by contributing authors who have extensive clinical experience with the specific problem under discussion. The authors present case examples that demonstrate successful approaches and offer valuable insights into errors in diagnosis and treatment. The discussions emphasize avoidance of common pitfalls and management of complications. Complementing the text throughout are more than 500 illustrations, including original drawings by a noted medical illustrator
