The definitive book on reverse shoulder arthroplasty from leading orthopaedic shoulder surgeonsThis masterful book from top experts provides clinical insights on reverse shoulder arthroplasty gleaned from hands-on refinement of shoulder replacement techniques. Years of significant biomechanical and clinical research yielded invaluable knowledge that led to important improvements in functional outcome and implant durability. Among these refinements were stronger polyethylene derivatives, better ingrowth technology, and improved connection devices. As the durability and longevity of implant technology increased, younger active patients became suitable candidates for this procedure. In fact, RSA has played a pivotal role in making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest growing implant technology.In the first two sections, the authors take the reader through the history and evolution of RSA, followed by step-by-step surgical techniques for specific injuries and conditions. The next three sections discuss past and recent outcomes, complications, and rehabilitation. The last section covers special considerations including patient specific instrumentation, convertible humeral and glenoid components, and the future potential of stemless humeral technology.Key Features The latest trends in patient-specific components, guide systems, and instrument designThe use of RSA for rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthritis, and acute and complex fracturesIn-depth discussion of techniques to improve deltoid function, avoid impingement, and increase implant longevityClinical pearls on how to recognize and handle complications that occur: instability, infection, scapular notching, component loosening, glenoid and humeral bone loss, and RSA failureHigh quality videos and 300 superb illustrations further delineate techniquesThis book is a practical resource that enables learning complex procedures, putting them into practice, and handling complications should they arise. It is an essential tool for all orthopaedic surgeons who treat shoulder conditions.

Surgical strategies for complex problems in upper extremity trauma

Thieme congratulates David L. Helfet on being chosen by New York magazine for its prestigious ‘Best Doctors 2017'' list.

Written by leading trauma surgeons, Solutions for Complex Upper Extremity Trauma is a state-of-the-art reference for current best practices for managing acute and chronic trauma and reconstructive problems post-trauma in the upper extremity. Chapters are arranged according to the anatomic location of the problem, progressing from the shoulder girdle down to the forearm. Each chapter presents authoritative coverage of anatomy, etiology, nonoperative treatments, surgical techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes. Ideal as both a textbook and a review prior to surgery, this book provides all the essential information for successful patient care.

Highlights:

Clinical insights from internationally recognized authorities in the field Comprehensive coverage of both acute and chronic situations Recommendations for handling special situations, including history of prior surgeries and bone loss, and other comorbidities, such as osteopenia and rheumatoid arthritis Guidelines for managing complications, such as infection, instability, stiffness, and neurologic symptoms More than 250 high-quality photographs and drawings that demonstrate technical concepts and key points

This unique book, complete with expert insights and focused, in-depth coverage of trauma to the upper extremity, is ideal for orthopedic and trauma surgeons at all levels of experience, residents, and fellows.
