Technical reading worth the struggle!
This book is a must have for anyone considering hip replacement surgery. It cleary covers the evolution of the technology and techniques most commonly used in an understandable format. While technical, it facilitates easy comparison between the various technologies with valuable information on outcomes, longevity, and durability. It is especially valuable for candidates younger than 50 years who are struggling to find long lasting technology that will require fewer revisions. I highly recommend this book. ... Read more

Book Description

The thrust plate prosthesis is a new type of hip prosthesis which maintains the physiological loading pattern of the bone. Experimental stress analysis of the proximal femur led to the development of this device, and clinical results over a period of more than 12 years confirm the sound biomechanical concept on which it is based. Conventional prostheses of the stem type are still prone to loosening and subsequent revision operations which are surgically particularly demanding. The thrust plate prosthesis, in contrast, allows a revision procedure, if at all necessary, to be performed with the same ease as a primary implantation. This, together with the fact that bone stock is preserved, makes it especially attractive for use in physiologically active and young patients. ... Read more

AFWeber's review
This easy-to-understand book helps simplify the complexity of CTDs whether you're an HS&E professional, plant employee or person off the street. It's full of good visuals, practical applications and won't give you a hernia carrying it around! Great training aid to help people understand what's meant by a "neutral" posture or other technical terminology when you're preparing your next session. Valuable tool to have on your reference shelf. Used it during my undergraduate work and have been using it ever since as a reference tool. Too bad there aren't more like it. ... Read more

THE BEST BOOK ON SHOULDER PATHOLOGY WORLDWIDELY
I'm a Physical Therapist specialist and researcher on Frozen Shoulder Rehabilitation the last 20 years. I feel the need to thank all the great Proffessors of Orthopaedics and authors of this superb book that offered to me so extensive in -depth view descriptions on anatomy, pathology and treatment options on Shoulder disorders that I couldn't find in any other book on the field!!! The book helped me to advance my knowledges on Idiopathic Frozen Shoulder. The last years I offer functional rehabilitation to all my patients in the PHYSICAL THERAPY CENTER of NMY - IKA (Prefectural Health Unit) of the city of THESSALONIKI in less than 1 week with my new method called "SAKALI'S METHOD"! This book must be in every serious scientist's and researcher's library, not only for Orthopaedic surgeons but also for every high - level Physical Therapist specialist in Shoulder pathology. My review is in memorial of excellent Teacher, co - author of this great book "The Shoulder" and Proffessor of Orthopaedics in Washington University at Seattle, DOUGLAS T. HARRYMAN. Dear Proffessor, your spirit shall be in our mind of all of us, who are interesting in Shoulder pathology, forever!!!

Great book
This book has help me at lot, a very serious book, with a lot of good referencer. However, as i is with these kind of serious books - some of the latest arthroscopic things is mising, but it is very close to 5 stars.

A practical shoulder textbook
This is the second edition of "The Shoulder". A notable improvement from the first edition is the addition of a CD ROM which allows the reader to watch surgical techniques on a PC. The basic textbook itself is excellent. The chapters are well organized and well written. It covers a wide breadth of shoulder topics, and provides practical tips for making diagnoses and carrying out surgical procedures. It is a must for any surgeon who operates on the shoulder. ...
