The Resident S Guide To Shoulder And Elbow Surgery

Utilizing a practical, high-yield presentation, this textbook is a comprehensive review of the most common shoulder and elbow diagnoses and management strategies. It allows easy access to pertinent information for residents and fellows while preparing for rounds, the clinic and the operating room and also aides residents studying for their yearly in-training exam (OITE). Each topic is organized in a consistent, bulleted format so that the information flows in a logic manner: history, physical examination, imaging (when and what to order), and the most appropriate treatment algorithm. The most common classification systems are emphasized and illustrated, and treatment algorithms are further organized into non-operative and operative and include surgical approaches as well as the risks and complications of surgical intervention. The shoulder and elbow are covered in their own exclusive sections, with each chapter discussing the unique diagnostic considerations for each anatomic structure and the types of injuries to expect. Topics in the shoulder section include osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy and tears, instability, stiffness, SLAP tears and biceps tendinitis, and fractures of the clavicle and scapula. Topics in the elbow section include biceps and triceps rupture, lateral and medical epicondylitis, instability and stiffness, and elbow fractures - distal humerus, Monteggia, the terrible triad and more. Case material, key points and takeaways, and question-and-answer elements are included to enhance the text's overall utility. There is currently no textbook on the shoulder and elbow tailored specifically for orthopedic residents, fellows and senior medical students. The Resident's Guide to Shoulder and Elbow Surgery therefore provides a much-needed resource for early-career clinicians and surgeons.

What is causing the shoulder pain? How does one prepare for arthroscopic shoulder surgery? What is adequate subacromial decompression? How does one stabilize the lax capsule in the Asian shoulder? Which of the many suture configurations should one use for the many tear morphologies?Shoulder surgery, especially arthroscopic procedures, have seen a dramatic increase in the past 10 years. With improved diagnostic modalities, increased awareness and rapid advances in implant technologies, the minimally invasive surgical option has been more appealing to patients.This shoulder arthroscopic surgery guide attempts to answer the questions above, and was written as a quick reference and guide for Orthopaedic residents and practicing surgeons, with proven techniques developed by the author and contributors over the past 15 years. Each surgical technique has proven published results and thus provides an assurance to the readers that these techniques are reproducible.The book starts with a chapter dedicated to a diagnostic approach to shoulder problems, often a confusing symptom that is not well studied. More than 22 surgical techniques are described in detail, in succinct and simple point-forms, each chapter beginning with an introduction to the problem, the surgical technique which the author(s) found useful, post-op care and ending off with the clinical results of this technique.

Excellent resource of orthopedic knowledge. Easy to use note format - checklist character. Illustrations include x-rays and clinical photos that have previously appeared in examinations. Preface written by Jesse Jupiter (Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital) nad John Wedge (Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada) Useful to students and practitioners throughout the world.

A comprehensive introductory text with more than 150 color images and figures, The Foundations of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery provides essential information on shoulder and elbow care for students, residents, fellows, and new doctors. Surgery of the shoulder and elbow has grown more common in recent decades as understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology has improved. Additionally, innovations in surgical techniques and implant design have given surgeons the tools to address a higher number of shoulder and elbow pathologies. To adequately care for this increasing patient population, the basics of shoulder and elbow care must be disseminated to those in training. Together with their expert contributors, Drs. Surena Namdari, Benjamin Zmistowski, and Reza Omid explore the foundational concepts of shoulder and elbow surgery, including: Shoulder anatomy and physical examination, shoulder instability, and rotator cuff disease Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and injuries to the biceps-labral complex Shoulder arthritis (glenohumeral arthritis), shoulder fractures, and the athlete’s shoulder and elbow Scapular disorders and acromioclavicular disorders Elbow anatomy and physical exam, elbow instability, and tendon injuries Neuropathies of the upper extremity Elbow arthritis, fractures of the elbow, and humeral shaft fractures In conjunction with clinical experience, The Foundations of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery will serve as an invaluable resource for orthopedic surgeons-in-training.

The idea of this book is very simple. Nowadays, there are many good, very comprehensive, “thick” books available on Elbow Surgery. Although they are useful to obtain discrete information about specific topics, they are too large to be a user friendly for a general orthopedic surgeon facing common elbow problems. The increasing interest among young surgeons on elbow problems is remarkable. It has been our experience throughout the years, teaching our residents and visitors, that there is a real demand for a less extensive book, easy to read, and with practical information about the most commonly encountered problems of the elbow. This text would be enough to understand the common elbow practice for a general orthopedic surgeon and a guide to learn basic elbow surgery during training. There is nothing like this available today. It will be strongly oriented to practice, and all the authors, well known internationally for their expertise on elbow surgery, will be homogeneous in their message.

This reference book gives you the latest surgical techniques and a state-of-the-art update on the management of shoulder and elbow conditions. Written by two renowned experts in the field, it provides valuable information in a case-based approach designed for easy reading and practical application.

In this volume, there are detailed instructions on 56 different shoulder and elbow surgical procedures, with more than 400 high-quality photographs and radiographs to help "walk the surgeon" through the techniques. While some attention is given to rare problems or situations, the focus of the book is on the shoulder and elbow problems orthopedic surgeons encounter in their daily practice. You'll find clear and concise information on rotator cuff disorders, fractures, arthritic problems, neuropathies, and much more!
