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. Hutchinson, Doody's Review Service, December, 2011)
