The management of glenohumeral arthritis in the young patient remains a challenging problem for the treating clinician. The activity demands seen in such patient populations require a unique understanding of what the goals of treatment are to ensure satisfied and sustainable outcomes. In addition, younger patients have a longer life expectancy and more active lifestyles, which can negatively impact the longevity of arthroplasty implants that are traditionally used in the older patient population.

This volume addresses cutting-edge topics in shoulder and knee surgery. The book discusses challenging situations faced by orthopedic surgeons, such as SLAP tears, rotator cuff tears, meniscal ramp lesions, and ACL reconstruction. For shoulder surgeons, the book reviews the indications and techniques of SLAP repair and rotator cuff repair. Regarding SLAP lesions, the book discusses the role of repair versus biceps tenodesis and why technique is so important in making sure patients do not lose motion and are able to get back to their sports and lifestyles.
