A practical reference guide for orthopedic surgeons, fellows, and residents interested in shoulder surgery, Premier Approaches to Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair explains the latest techniques in arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff repair and incorporates evidence-based recommendations to help readers select the best surgical techniques for their patients.

Rotator cuff disease is common and debilitating, but postoperative retear rates remain high. While technological advances have led to an increase in popularity and prominence of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, some procedures require a steep learning curve. This work will prove to be a great resource for surgeons seeking proficiency in contemporary arthroscopic techniques pertaining to the rotator cuff.

Edited by Dr. John D. Kelly IV and with contributions from leading orthopedic surgeons, Premier Approaches to Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair provides readers with the most up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge regarding arthroscopic rotator cuff repair including elaboration of:

• Double-row repair technique
• Subscapularis tear approaches
• Value of oblique reduction
• Partial repair strategies
• Indications for graft augmentation
• Role of biologic augmentation
• Superior capsular reconstruction
• Role of fatty infiltration
• Suprascapular nerve release

The text concludes with a chapter on rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair that underscores the importance of a progressive program, individualized to each patient and coordinated among the surgeon, therapist, and patient.

Premier Approaches to Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair is an invaluable book compiled by Master Surgeons which  provides a foundation for implementation of the most recent and effective care of those afflicted with rotator cuff tears.
