One of the most common musculoskeletal issues seen in orthopaedic physiotherapy are shoulder injuries and abnormalities. Clinicians and patients face distinct problems due to the intricate structure of the shoulder and the wide range of shoulder diseases. In order to address these issues, the book Rebuilding Strength: A Guide to Shoulder Rehabilitation in Orthopaedic Physiotherapy offers a thorough and useful method for shoulder rehabilitation. This guide's main goal is to provide physiotherapists with a well-organised framework for managing shoulder rehabilitation, from the initial evaluation to more complex therapeutic procedures. This book is an invaluable tool for both seasoned practitioners and those just entering the industry because it seamlessly blends clinical expertise with evidence-based procedures. Every chapter explores a different facet of shoulder rehabilitation, such as frequent shoulder injuries, in-depth anatomical insights, and a variety of therapeutic exercises and procedures. The significance of customised treatment regimens that take into account each patient's particular requirements and characteristics is emphasised. In order to demonstrate practical application, the guide integrates case studies with an exploration of the most recent developments in rehabilitation procedures. Although the road from injury to recovery is frequently difficult, physiotherapists may greatly improve patient outcomes and quality of life by equipping themselves with the appropriate information and resources. In addition to being a useful manual, we hope this book will stimulate further reading on shoulder rehabilitation and its significance in orthopaedic therapy.We sincerely thank the scholars, practitioners, and collaborators whose experiences and insights have influenced our work. The calibre and content of this handbook demonstrate their commitment to furthering the discipline of orthopaedic physiotherapy.

This book describes and evaluates techniques and devices used in shoulder arthroplasty with a view to enabling readers to improve their surgical practice. After an opening section on basic knowledge, including surgical anatomy, key issues in total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) are considered in detail. Among the topics covered are biomechanics, cemented versus cementless humeral fixation, the comparative merits of humeral components featuring short stem and stemless designs and of pegged and keeled glenoid components, the influence of humeral inclination in RTSA, and the avoidance and management of unstable RTSA. An entire section is then devoted to the description and illustration of valuable surgical tips and tricks. Arthroplasty for acute proximal humerus fractures is considered separately, again addressing important aspects of technique and current controversies. The book is an outcome of a workshop held by the international Shoulder Club, formed at Hacettepe University in Ankara in 2015 with the aim of bringing together leading authorities in the field and young orthopedic surgeons and students from across the world in order to disseminate expertise and exchange ideas.

Treat your own rotator cuff? Who needs to worry about that? According to the medical research, a lot of people. The rotator cuff, a group of four, flat tendons that connect to the critical muscles that stabilize your shoulder, can cause a lot more problems than you might think. Consider a few of these statistics from the published literature: .It's simply just a matter of time until the majority of shoulders get a rotator cuff tear. According to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, approximately 4% of people under forty years of age have a torn rotator cuff. After age sixty, however, 54% of people have one (Sher 1995). .Once the rotator cuff gets torn, it doesn't look good either. One study followed a group of patients with tears in their rotator cuffs and found that 80% of the them went on to either enlarge or turn into full thickness tears-in less than a two-year period (Yamanaka 1994). As you can tell, rotator cuff problems aren't just for elite athletes. Seriously consider investing just a few minutes a week doing the simple exercises in this book if you: .have been diagnosed with either a partial or full thickness rotator cuff tear (yes, many studies show that even full thickness tears can be helped with exercise ) .experience shoulder pain .do upper body weight lifting .have a job or play a sport where you do a lot of work with your arms above shoulder level .have been diagnosed with "impingement syndrome" .want a healthy and properly functioning rotator cuff So whether you already suffer from a rotator cuff problem, or simply want to prevent one, Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff will guide you step-by-step through an evidence-based program that can iron-plate your shoulders in just minutes a week.
