Over the past few years, international literature has highlighted the limitations of arthroscopic treatment for antero-inferior instability of the shoulder. Therefore, the question arises as to which technique – open surgery or arthroscopy – may represent the best alternative to the classical arthroscopic capsuloplasty. The volume is organized into five chapters and presents five different techniques. Each chapter describes the non-surgical and surgical algorithms for the treatment of unidirectional and multidirectional antero-inferior instabilities, with and without shoulder laxity. The chapters offer a detailed description of each technique, enhanced by 10–15 high-definition photographs, tips and tricks, and pitfalls, as well as surgical steps. The book is aimed at medical students, fellows, specialists , orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation and generalist physicians.

From the reviews:

“This book is unique in its focus on uncommon restoration techniques for shoulder instability, but its most impressive feature is its collection of high-definition, oversized anatomic and surgical images that draw readers deeply into the actual surgical procedure. … The book clearly targets younger surgeons who have been taught arthroscopic techniques and may have begun to lose the art of open surgical shoulder reconstruction. … It is a worthy addition to the libraries of surgeons who will perform complex shoulder instability reconstructive techniques.”­­­ (Mark R.
