Utilizing a case-based format complemented with schematic figures and operative photographs, this book presents all aspects of the surgical management of shoulder instability, including instability with and without glenoid and/or humeral head bone loss.

The first section covers the essentials of the anatomy, physical examination and imaging techniques for the shoulder. The following three sections, illustrated with unique clinical case material, present anterior, posterior and multidirectional instability respectively, discussing the decision-making process required for these challenging patients. Techniques described include arthroscopic and open soft tissue stabilization, arthroscopic and open Bankart and Latarjet techniques, and arthroscopic and open bone block techniques. Concluding sections present special cases, future directions and evolving concepts.

With contributions from leaders in the field, Management of Shoulder Instability: A Case-Based Guide is a valuable resource for orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons, residents and fellows, as well as allied health care colleagues (PAs, NPs, ATCs) who specialize in the treatment of shoulder instability patients.
