Book description
From high impact energy injuries to fragility fractures in the elderly,
the wide variability in shoulder fractures have made them simultaneously
the most common and challenging of shoulder injuries. Based on the
authors' extensive clinical and teaching experience, here is your
complete guide to the management of fractures of the proximal humerus,
clavicle, and scapula. You will find focused discussions of anatomy,
diagnosis, fracture classifications, imaging, surgical and non-surgical
treatments, complications, and outcomes -- a one-volume compendium of
modern shoulder care! The book provides in-depth recommendations for
evaluation and management of one, two, three, and four-part fractures
and fracture-dislocations, as well as complications that may arise. More
than 500 illustrations and radiographs enhance every concept and
technique in the book. With a strong emphasis on treatment options and
outcome assessment, this book is a must for all orthopedic surgeons,
shoulder specialists, orthopedic traumatologists, and residents and
fellows who restore function to the injured shoulder. "
