The Unstable Shoulder

Leading authorities offer a comprehensive update on the anatomy and biomechanics of the stable and unstable shoulder. Discusses the classification and evaluation of shoulder instability, treatment options, and rehabilitation expectations. Section include: Acute, traumatic anterior dislocations Arthroscopic Bankart repair Anterior open and posterior instability repairs Multidirectional and glenohumeral instability

Featuring over 500 illustrations--143 in full color--this volume provides definitive guidance on evaluation, repair, and rehabilitation of shoulder instability. Leading experts describe today's most successful surgical and nonsurgical approaches to acute dislocations; recurrent instability; multidirectional instability; instability in throwing athletes; fracture dislocations; dislocations associated with rotator cuff tears; instability following prosthetic arthroplasty; and many other conditions. The comprehensive coverage includes pertinent anatomy, biomechanics, and pathophysiology; diagnostic studies; open and arthroscopic surgical procedures; and innovative techniques such as heat shrinkage of collagen. The contributors guide the clinician through every phase of patient management, from initial presentation to long-term rehabilitation. Their practical advice will help the reader conduct a thorough clinical examination; establish the differential based on the cause of injury; select appropriate diagnostic imaging studies; fine-tune surgical and nonsurgical interventions according to each patient's unique circumstances; and prevent and manage complications. The illustrations include surgical figures, diagrams, radiographs, and endoscopic images.

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.
