Abstract

In contrast to other texts of shoulder pathology and disorders, this book focuses solely on shoulder disorders sustained as a result of sports participation. This has been accomplished with contributions from many acknowledged authorities in the field. It has been their objective to create a basic clinical reference for the orthopedist and sports medicine physician. In each chapter, the authors discuss techniques of diagnosis and treatment thouroughly . The text is significantly enhanced by the abundant use of illustrations to amplify critical points. Each chapter also provides a historical review of its subject and a comprehensive list of references.
