Disorders Of The Rotator Cuff Of The Shoulder

Rest, patient instruction and NSAIDs suffice for treatment in the majority of painful conditions of the rotator cuff. Prolonged inflammatory conditions are treated with glucocorticoid injections. Rupture of the rotator cuff should be identified. Major ruptures should be operated on within a few months of the trauma for a good result.

This open access book focuses on imaging of the musculoskeletal diseases. Over the last few years, there have been considerable advances in this area, driven by clinical as well as technological developments. The authors are all internationally renowned experts in their field. They are also excellent teachers, and provide didactically outstanding chapters. The book is disease-oriented and covers all relevant imaging modalities, with particular emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging. Important aspects of pediatric imaging are also included. IDKD books are completely re-written every four years. As a result, they offer a comprehensive review of the state of the art in imaging. The book is clearly structured with learning objectives, abstracts, subheadings, tables and take-home points, supported by design elements to help readers easily navigate through the text. As an IDKD book, it is particularly valuable for general radiologists, radiology residents, and interventional radiologists who want to update their diagnostic knowledge, and for clinicians interested in imaging as it relates to their specialty.

A text on the rotator cuff, with nine chapters written by Burkhead himself, and the remaining 24 chapters contributed by nationally and internationally recognized physicians and shoulder surgeons. The volume contains seven sections: history of cuff repair (1 chapter); basic science and the rotator cuff (3 chapters); evaluation and classification of cuff lesions (3 chapters); clinical disorders (10 chapters); conservative treatment of cuff defects and impingement syndrome (2 chapters); arthroscopic management of rotator cuff disease (1 chapter); and surgical management of massive cuff tears and degeneration (13 chapters). Thoroughly illustrated in bandw, with extensive chapter references. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This unique book - the first of its kind exclusive on disorders of the scapula - is a concise but comprehensive summary of the evidence that will enable clinicians to understand the scapula from its functions to its dysfunctions and includes clinical guidelines and pearls to improve the clinician’s competencies for the treatment of shoulder disorders. Organized logically, the book opens with a review of the baseline mechanics and pathomechanics of the scapula, proceeds to evaluation, then describes in detail the association of the scapula with specific shoulder problems, including rotator cuff disease, labral injuries, glenohumeral and multidirectional instability, clavicle fractures, acromioclavicular joint separation, and shoulder arthrosis. Subsequent chapters cover scapular muscle detachment, neurological injuries and winging, scapular fractures and snapping scapula, in addition to basic and complex rehabilitation strategies. Each chapter includes a summary section with clinical pearls. In the past, in-depth research and expertise regarding the scapula was minimal, but a widening interest has resulted in a volume of literature that makes it possible and imperative that it be collected in a single volume. Disorders of the Scapula and Their Role in Shoulder Injury will be an excellent resource for orthopedic and trauma surgeons, residents and fellows.

Now includes a brand-new companion Website, The Iannotti & Williams Solution! Expanded to two volumes, Disorders of the Shoulder, Second Edition is a comprehensive, current, and authoritative clinical reference for residents, fellows, shoulder specialists, and general orthopaedic surgeons. This edition features greatly expanded coverage of arthroscopic treatment and hundreds of new full-color arthroscopic images. Arthroscopic and open techniques are integrated into all relevant disorder-specific chapters, so that readers can compare open to arthroscopic procedures and select the most effective treatment option. New chapters cover diagnosis of glenohumeral instability; management of bone and soft tissue loss in revision arthroplasty; minimally invasive techniques for proximal humeral fractures; hemiarthroplasty for proximal humeral fractures; and suprascapular and axillary nerve injuries. All clinical chapters include treatment algorithms and the authors' preferred treatment. More than 2,400 illustrations—743 in full color—complement the text. The new companion Website, The Iannotti & Williams Solution, gives you instant access to the fully searchable text, an Image Bank, featured clinical cases, and the Gaining Speed and Tricks of the Trade chapter of Burkhart's View of the Shoulder: A Cowboy's Guide to Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy.

Highlights latest best practice in the management of rotator cuff and associated pathologies and includes comprehensive basic science and clinical chapters authored by some of the world's most experienced and expert shoulder surgeons.

With a concise, expert focus on one of today’s hottest topics in shoulder surgery, Disorders of the Rotator Cuff and Biceps Tendon provides thorough, up-to-date coverage of all aspects of this fast-changing area. This unique volume covers everything from physical examination and imaging workup to state-of-the-art treatment methodologies and clinical indications for operative techniques. Designed with the clinician in mind, it offers a comprehensive, well-illustrated approach in an easy-to-read format, supplemented by surgical videos created by leaders in the field. Expert contributing authors describe every procedural step in a logical, methodical manner, offering clinical and technical pearls from personal experience. Surgical techniques are written with the general orthopaedist in mind and include an emphasis on transitioning to all-arthroscopic techniques. Coverage includes non-operative care, including an emphasis on rotator cuff and proximal biceps rehabilitation techniques, injections, and modalities. Expert discussions include advanced arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques, revision surgery, and arthroplasty (hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty) for failed cuff repair. Unique! Includes salvage reconstruction techniques including tendon transfers, biologic patches, and emerging technologies. More than 1100 high-quality illustrations include both original artwork and clinical photographs that accurately depict important aspects of each procedure for surgical management. Before each surgical technique, quick-reference text boxes in bulleted format present guidelines for arriving at the associated diagnosis. Ideal for orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, residents, and students in orthopaedic surgery as well as physical therapists, physician assistants and athletic trainers.

This is a study of what the contributors consider the best present-day surgical and nonsurgical treatments for young people, athletes and others who suffer rotator cuff disorders. It covers pathogenesis, diagnosis, nonsurgical management, surgical treatment and postoperative rehabilitation.
