Developed in collaboration with the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, here is the complete state of the art for shoulder surgery in 2016.

It includes:

Techniques, tips, and strategies from more than 130 leading surgeons.
Step-by-step guidance through 60 surgical challenges, including minimally-invasive techniques for instability, rotator cuff pathology, and arthritis.
The latest evidence to support solid decision making.


Now in a case-based format: each author describes the case, addresses alternative approaches and controversies, and offers evidence and experience to support the recommended approach.

Intraoperative photos, illustrations, and in many cases, the author's own narrated video demonstrate the technical pearls and accelerate your learning curve. Yet the clear and concise chapter organization allows you to find specific answers quickly.
