This book provides a concise and up-to-date resource on common
shoulder disorders. The reader will learn about various shoulder
conditions, their presentation, evaluation and management. Anatomy,
biomechanics, function, clinical history taking and examination,
radiological imaging and other investigations, as well as principles of
non-surgical and surgical management of the troublesome shoulder are
presented first. The Shoulder Made Easy conveys clear, easily
understood information to help practitioners in day-to-day
clinical practice as well as in preparation for undergraduate or
postgraduate exams. The book focuses on:
Commonly encountered clinical symptoms of the shoulder:
patients don't present with a clinical diagnosis but with symptoms such
as pain, stiffness, weakness or instability and a thorough
consideration of what could be accounting for such symptoms and how such
symptoms may be dealt with is presented.
Commonly encountered clinical disorders of the shoulder:
each clinical disorder is concisely presented with the background,
clinical symptoms, investigations, differential diagnosis, treatment and
a further reading section.
This book attempts to present
information in an easily read, succinct way. In particular, this book
tries to unpick and explain those concepts of shoulder disorders that
may be difficult to understand. An attempt is made to pass on knowledge
but more importantly also stimulate lateral thinking. Key diagrams,
clinical photographs and radiographs are used as necessary to highlight
important points; references to relevant landmark articles are also
provided in each chapter.
The book will be of great interest to medical students, junior orthopaedic doctors, GP’s and physiotherapists.
