It addresses the latest topics that have developed in the past several years, such as the conversion of mini-open repair to all arthroscopic repair, and answers key questions that are raised at instructional courses. Experts in the field present not only arthroscopic shoulder anatomy, cuff tear patterns, repair concepts, and other fundamentals, but also provide in-depth coverage of state-of-the-art techniques. Acromioplasty, clavicle resection, PASTA repair, large and massive repair techniques, and subscapularis repairs are among the techniques detailed. The thorough book also considers repairable versus irreparable cuff tears, biceps tendon disorders (tenotomy, tenodesis, and subpectoral tenodesis), and tuberosity footprints (medial, lateral, and double row). Suture anchor repair, suture pass techniques, knot tying, and postoperative treatment are addressed as well. The step-by-step approach is supplemented by a wealth of anatomical drawings and color photos of arthroscopic techniques. An accompanying DVD supplements the surgical techniques chapters. |

| Publisher Description: It is a privilege and honor to write the foreword for this book. The contri- tors to Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery: A Practical Approach to M- agement are a national and international Who's Who of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. They are to be congratulated on presenting the most up-to-date, scienti?c, clinical, and, particularly, technical aspects of arth- scopic cuff surgery. The subject of this text is very timely given the current enthusiasm of arthroscopic and shoulder surgeons for achieving rotator cuff repairs through the arthroscope. This book is carefully structured, organized, well written, and expertly illustrated. The inclusion of video footage that demonstrates selected p- cedures greatly enhances the textbook descriptions. The video is in DVD format, which is the ideal medium to help the reader understand the pr- ciples of arthroscopic cuff surgery. I have been blessed to be able to grow with the evolution of shoulder surgery, and it is pleasing to see the current state of arthroscopic cuff surgery. Not too many years ago, we made rather large incisions in taking the deltoid off the acromion for exposure to achieve a rotator cuff repair. Some surgeons, particularly in Europe, osteotomized the acromion for exposure. We then slowly migrated to utilizing a mini approach that allowed arthroscopic inspection of the glenohumeral joint and subacromial space allowing decompression, if desired. We are now learning, particularly through focused texts such as this and expert tea- ers such as the authors, to achieve rotator cuff repair arthroscopically. |
