Synopsis

In the past five years, the techniques used in arthroscopic shoulder surgery have advanced exponentially. The basic principles are the same, but the theories, techniques, and instrumentation have dramatically improved. The Cowboy's Companion: A Trail Guide for the Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgeon is truly a companion book to Burkhart’s View of the Shoulder: A Cowboy's Guide to Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy , which builds on the principles of the first book and concentrates on the new theories and techniques that have developed since the first book was written. The book is separated into two sections: The Shoulder Roundup, which will be an update on the techniques and ideas that have developed in shoulder surgery and The Shoulder Rodeo, which will be a collection of challenging cases that demonstrate unique approaches to difficult shoulder problems.
The text comes with two DVDs that feature advanced interactive technology. The surgical videos will be supplemented with state-of-the-art digitally enhanced illustrations and animations, to create an entirely new 3-dimensional learning environment for the surgeon.

About this title

Review:

"Every great cowboy had his loyal sidekick and it should come as no surprise that Dr. Burkhart has come up with a loyal companion to his original book on shoulder surgery. This is not a new edition, but rather a refreshing new book that continues the common sense, well-thought out, vetted procedures as well as the excellent teaching that we have learned to expect and enjoy from Dr.
Burkhart. His dedication to teaching is thoroughly evident throughout. The book is a great addition to your personal and institutional library. I will have to get an extra one for my residents because this is one of the few books that I simply won't share."
