Description
This book runs the gamut of topics in shoulder surgery, from arthroscopy to arthroplasty, and is accompanied by a website with videos. This second edition comes some 10 years after the first.

Purpose
The purpose is to present common and complex shoulder pathology using a unique approach. Each chapter is written by a leading physician in that particular topic and presents a case before delving into the treatment options.

Audience
The audience is all students and practitioners with an interest in shoulder surgery. This book provides not only treatment alternatives and preferred techniques, but photographs and videos, in some cases, to help in teaching these techniques.

Features
The book covers the most common pathology seen in the shoulder. From instability and rotator cuff tears to fractures and glenohumeral arthritis, this book covers in depth the majority of shoulder problems most commonly seen not only by shoulder specialists, but also generalists. Chapters all have a similar structure, starting with a brief introduction, followed by a case presentation to illustrate how these patients will typically present. This is followed by treatment modalities and the author's preferred method, with step-by-step instructions as well as clinical pearls and pitfalls. Chapters also have a spreadsheet of summaries of major articles related to the topic. Finally, chapters end with a chart on the rehabilitation protocol. Chapters also have illustrative photographs. For example, in the chapter about the treatment of massive rotator cuff tears, the authors describe releases and interval slides, with corresponding images to show what they are describing.

Assessment
I truly enjoyed this book. It provides a good review on some topics I am well versed in, and some new information on others. It is a good reference to have in the library.
