Product Description
The leading reference on the shoulder is now completely up to date with state-of-the-art rehabilitation and surgical techniques, five new chapters, new photographs, and many new contributors. It continues to provide valuable information on functional anatomy; the mechanics of movement; neurologic, special, and surgical considerations; evaluation; and treatment. Clinical application, while always an important feature of this title, has been strengthened for this new edition. Readers will also find new evidence-based evaluation methods and new treatment techniques and procedures.

 Virtually a compilation of medical journal articles October 14, 2009
J. Craig
This is a treatise on the subject, i.e., more than high-end coverage of a complex joint. The authors throw the reader directly into scholarly analyses with an abundance of research references--as if to not offend the reader who is presumed already knowledgeable about most of the subject matter.
This is typical medical journal style; and it has its place. However, the potential book buyer is well served to understand this is by no means a casual read nor perhaps a standalone explanation of shoulder maladies, as ancillary references may be helpful (or necessary) in augmenting this book.
Written solely for the practitioner, the text does not address self-help.
Superb September 6, 2009

Excellent book with fantastic pictures. Bought this book due to injury suffered but I could understand the intellectual level this book is written with. Great for students!
Great Evidence-Based Reference Book January 11, 2008

The fourth edition looks the coolest of all previous editions due to its metallic blue cover. The information inside ain't bad either.
Written by a physical therapist, this book is more for people in the field, such as PT's, athletic trainer's or even ortho docs- in other words people who specialize in the shoulder. I found it to be a great reference book to keep on my desk as it covers every major shoulder problem, from frozen shoulder, to impingement issues, to brachial plexus problems. However non-medical readers looking for a less technical book to treat their shoulder pain might be interested in Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff.
Good Study Material September 26, 2007

This book provides a very thorough review of the neck, shoulder and brachial plexux. I was able to utilize it to study form my hand certification exam and the chapter on the brachial plexus was very helpful. The chapters providing the orthopedic shoulder information were also very thorough and helpful.
