Review

"I anticipate that most surgeons who have a sincere interest in treating shoulder problems will want to have this book on the shelf. In addition, orthopaedic departments will wish to have this book in their libraries for use by staff members who treat shoulder problems less frequently and for the education of residents and fellows. Broad-based practitioners will find this text useful because of its thoughtful review of contemporary thought as well as its information on rarer conditions, which is hard to find in a collective way elsewhere. Congratulations to the editors and authors for a job well done." -- Robert H Cofield, MD, Mayo Clinic


The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, Vol 87-A, No 7. July 2005


"This third edition contains the latest data available to the clinician regarding both diagnosis and treatment. The authors have done a splendid job in chronicling their subject, directing their audience on every aspect of the shoulder practice and an excellent job in discussing how to proceed with treatment according to the individual needs of the patient. The Shoulder is likely to be the only reference text physicians will use on a daily basis in the course of their practice."

This review is from: The Shoulder, 2 Volume Set (Hardcover)

Overall an excellent resource for the orthopaedic shoulder surgeon. The basic science is sound and review of the literature is generally thorough. The glaring failure of this book is its coverage of arthroscopic topics (or lack thereof). Clearly arthroscopic shoulder surgery has been revolutionary to the advancement of our understanding and treatment of the shoulder and although the primary author still considers it the "tool of the devil", arthroscopy is now KING when it comes to the shoulder. Hopefully the next edition of this fine textbook will include material and video from some of the current experts in the field of shoulder arthroscopy.

This review is from: The Shoulder, 2 Volume Set (Hardcover)

I'm a Physical Therapist specialist and researcher on Frozen Shoulder Rehabilitation the last 20 years. I feel the need to thank all the great Proffessors of Orthopaedics and authors of this superb book that offered to me so extensive in -depth view descriptions on anatomy, pathology and treatment options on Shoulder disorders that I couldn't find in any other book on the field!!! The book helped me to advance my knowledges on Idiopathic Frozen Shoulder. The last years I offer functional rehabilitation to all my patients in the PHYSICAL THERAPY CENTER of NMY - IKA (Prefectural Health Unit) of the city of THESSALONIKI in less than 1 week with my new method called "SAKALI'S METHOD"! This book must be in every serious scientist's and researcher's library, not only for Orthopaedic surgeons but also for every high - level Physical Therapist specialist in Shoulder pathology. My review is in memorial of excellent Teacher, co - author of this great book "The Shoulder" and Proffessor of Orthopaedics in Washington University at Seattle, DOUGLAS T. HARRYMAN. Dear Proffessor, your spirit shall be in our mind of all of us, who are interesting in Shoulder pathology, forever!!!
