THE BEST BOOK ON SHOULDER PATHOLOGY WORLDWIDELY

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!!!

Great book

This book has help me at lot, a very serious book, with a lot of good referencer. However, as i is with these kind of serious books - some of the latest arthroscopic things is mising, but it is very close to 5 stars.

A practical shoulder textbook

This is the second edition of "The Shoulder". A notable improvement from the first edition is the addition of a CD ROM which allows the reader to watch surgical techniques on a PC. The basic textbook itself is excellent. The chapters are well organized and well written. It covers a wide breadth of shoulder topics, and provides practical tips for making diagnoses and carrying out surgical procedures. It is a must for any surgeon who operates on the shoulder.
