Shoulder Concepts 2013: Consensus and Concerns

From the reviews: "The purpose is to present a review of shoulder disorder topics by an international group of expert surgeons. The book meets this worthy objective. The book is written for practicing orthopedic surgeons, specifically those who wish to keep up with the current thinking about the treatment of shoulder conditions. ... This book offers a summary of shoulder topics deemed important by the ISAKOS Upper Extremity Committee. Its international flavor is unique, and there are really no comparable books." (Benjamin A. Goldberg, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2013)
