Summary

This text takes a comprehensive approach to rotator cuff disorders, including tears and arthroscopic techniques in surgical management. 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.
