"This book has been and should be the cornerstone of every academic and institutional library that hosts surgeons and clinicians who perform shoulder surgery. It should serve the same foundational role for every surgeon who performs shoulder surgery. The updates provided in the sixth edition give it a bit more of an international flair and secure it as THE global go-to reference book for shoulder surgery." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Mark R Hutchinson, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine) Doody’s Score: 4 Stars!
