This comprehensive textbook, published in collaboration with ESSKA, now in a revised and updated second edition, covers all major shoulder problems and related arthroscopic treatments. Introductory sections on basic science and the principles of shoulder arthroscopy provide essential information with the aim of enhancing understanding of a wide range of key issues. Shoulder conditions and their treatments are then described according to a learning pathway that will allow readers to improve their knowledge and skills in shoulder arthroscopy, from simple, standardized techniques to more complex and advanced procedures. The new edition includes additional chapters and offers attractive recent surgical solutions to challenging shoulder conditions, such as severe bone loss in shoulder instability and massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears. All chapters are written by expert arthroscopic surgeons who present decision-making algorithms for diagnosis and treatment, provide step-by-step instructions on arthroscopic techniques, identify pitfalls, and describe their personal tips and pearls. A dedicated section on outcomes measurements and experimental models explains the principles of outcome research on the topics addressed in the book.

This book presents the current status of shoulder instability treatment with the aim of equipping readers with a comprehensive understanding of the latest concepts of shoulder instability, diagnosis and the decision-making process, conservative treatment, state of the art surgical techniques, and management of treatment failures. Written by leading European and overseas specialists, the book merges the authors'clinical experience with expert opinions and up-to-date research data to offer shoulder surgeons, physiotherapists, other shoulder practitioners, and residents strong support in everyday practice. The coverage encompasses such pathologies as ALPSA, SLAP, HAGL, and Bankart lesions, and readers will find clear descriptions of soft tissue management, arthroscopic and open stabilization techniques, and recently published bone transfer techniques. Not only is the book copiously illustrated, but it also includes case examples, further illustrations, and links to high-resolution videos of the newest shoulder stabilization techniques performed by globally renowned experts. 360° Around Shoulder Instability is published in cooperation with ESSKA-ESA and is based on the 2nd biennial ESSKA-ESA meeting of the same name.

This book offers a truly comprehensive overview of the understanding and treatment of massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears, a painful and disabling shoulder condition that continues to pose major challenges. A thorough examination of basic science issues and evidence lays the foundation for discussion of key controversies in the field and exposition of a practical approach to treatment in which the role of both conservative and surgical management is explained. Special insights are provided into the new biological and nonoperative approaches that are becoming increasingly popular among practitioners. All potential surgical techniques are described, from partial repair and tendon transfer, to the use of dedicated implants. In addition, the value of anesthesia and regional blocks, both during surgery and in the postoperative phase, is discussed. The concluding section addresses particularly complex scenarios and offers guidance on the management of treatment complications and failures. Written by leading international shoulder experts, the book will be of value for shoulder surgeons, rehabilitators, and other health care practitioners.

This superbly illustrated book is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the contemporary arthroscopic management of intraarticular fractures. The opening section addresses a variety of basic aspects and key issues, including the difficulties posed by intraarticular fractures, principles of fixation, cartilage healing, and rehabilitation. The minimally invasive surgical techniques appropriate to individual types of fracture are then fully described and depicted, covering fractures of the shoulder and elbow, wrist, pelvis and hip, knee, and ankle. Guidance is also provided on avoidance and management of complications and rehabilitation. The closing section addresses relevant miscellaneous issues, including arthroscopic management of temporomandibular joint fractures and extended indications for endoscopy-assisted fracture fixation. This volume will be of value for both trainee and experienced surgeons when treating patients with these complex fractures.

In this book, leading European shoulder experts review the current status in the management of failures of surgical treatment of different pathological conditions around the shoulder, such as instability of the glenohumeral joint and the acromioclavicular joint, rotator cuff disease and pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon, and glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The aim is to equip readers with clear guidance on how to manage such failures in everyday practice. There is a particular focus on all aspects of the management response to failure of shoulder arthroplasty. Information is provided on the reasons for failure of the various procedures, and key points on controversial topics are highlighted. Furthermore, case examples are used to present challenging scenarios and their possible solutions. The numerous high-quality illustrations aid comprehension, and readers will also have access to supplementary online videos. The book, published in cooperation with ESSKA, will be invaluable for orthopaedic surgeons and highly relevant for other medical and health practitioners such as sports medicine doctors, physical medicine doctors, and physical therapists.

​This book, published in cooperation with ESSKA, is an exceptionally comprehensive guide to arthroscopy that covers all major joints and all potential arthroscopic procedures. Sections on the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, wrist, and ankle provide in-depth descriptions of each procedure, including indications, technique, complications, and results, as well as essential information on diagnostic work-up and classification systems/rating scales. The text is supported by a wealth of color illustrations, and clear treatment algorithms are included for most sports injuries. An introductory section describes the history of arthroscopy, explains general principles, and provides information on instrumentation, electronic equipment, anesthesia, pain control, and prevention of complications. A special chapter focuses on the operative report, with description of an electronic form that can be used by every surgeon to store operative records or participate in European multicenter ESSKA studies.

Arthroscopy will be an invaluable textbook and reference for orthopaedic surgeons, general orthopaedic physicians, sports traumatologists, residents, and physical therapists.

Les progrès en arthroscopie ont été fulgurants ces dernières années, en particulier en arthroscopie d'épaule, de hanche, du poignet et de cheville. Ainsi, de nombreuses pathologies ont été totalement revisitées par l'apport de cette technique. Aucune articulation et peu d'espaces de glissement résistent encore à l'arthroscope, ce qui permet de remplacer les gestes conventionnels par des chirurgies moins agressives. Les douleurs postopératoires sont réduites, facilitant une prise en charge en ambulatoire et le retour rapide à domicile. Cet ouvrage, constitué de 135 chapitres issus de la collaboration et de l'expérience de plus de 240 auteurs de la Société Française d'Arthroscopie, présente un recueil complet et illustré des pathologies à prise en charge arthroscopique avec, pour chacune, la description de la physiopathologie, du diagnostic, du traitement, des indications et des résultats. Tous les domaines d'application de l'arthroscopie sont abordés, en insistant sur les techniques de base, la réalisation des noeuds, l'utilisation des ancres. Sont ensuite décrites les prises en charge des pathologies synoviales et cartilagineuses. Toutes les pathologies articulaires sont passées en revue, qu'elles concernent l'épaule, le coude, le poignet, la main, la hanche, le genou, la cheville ou le pied. Une incursion est par ailleurs faite autour du rachis. L'arthroscopie ayant toujours eu un rôle de pionnier, les domaines innovants et les techniques audacieuses mais déjà reconnues sont également traités. Ce livre, par son approche didactique et très illustrée (près de 1 700 figures, dont plus de 250 dessins originaux), constitue à la fois une référence unique pour les chirurgiens orthopédistes arthroscopistes confirmés désireux de retrouver ou d'approfondir toutes les techniques existantes et un guide indispensable pour les chirurgiens en formation.
