DESCRIPTION The past 15 years has seen the introduction of a whole new era of arthroscopic surgery of the smaller joints. Most of the arthroscopic instruments used to perform minically invasive surgery of the elbow have been developed in the past 5 to 7 years. It is difficult to learn because of the smaller space and the danger of injuring nerves, but the recovery time is greatly enhanced and the patients are demand- ing it. Shawn O’Driscoll is THE leader in the field. He has more experience than any else in the field and in his course at Mayo he teaches the teachers. The book will cover the basics, indications and contraindications, techniques, anatomy, basic procedures, advanced procedures, and how to avoid and deal with complications if they occur. FEATURES ▶ ▶ Teaching that received perfect scores for the author’s course ▶ ▶ A step-by-step approach ▶ ▶ Profusely illustrated ▶ ▶ Teaches the way the foremost authority in the field does his surgery
