The ISAKOS Upper Extremity Committee (UEC) meets on a biannual basis for Closed Consensus Meetings. Each summit, a worldwide expert panel of surgeons and researchers convene for an in-depth discussion about a controversial topic. The purpose of this endeavor is to combine expertise and reach international consensus for the most appropriate management of various shoulder disorders. This booklet constitutes an integral part of the agreement encountered during these meetings.
Section A provides a comprehensive review of the currently available Classifications and Outcome Scores for shoulder disorders, illustrating their potential pitfalls and limitations. Section B presents a summary of the Acromio-Clavicular Joint (ACJ) Consensus Summit, describing pioneering techniques to re-establish shoulder function after dislocation. Section C describes the current state of evidence of Rotator Cuff Disorders, providing novel theories regarding its underlying biomechanics and reconstruction techniques. The 2009-2013 ISAKOS UEC members hope the readers find this compendium an insightful update for daily shoulder management.

From the reviews:
"The purpose is to present a review of shoulder disorder topics by an international group of expert surgeons. The book meets this worthy objective. The book is written for practicing orthopedic surgeons, specifically those who wish to keep up with the current thinking about the treatment of shoulder conditions. ... This book offers a summary of shoulder topics deemed important by the ISAKOS Upper Extremity Committee. Its international flavor is unique, and there are really no comparable books." (Benjamin A. Goldberg, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2013)
