Foreword
This book is a product of the upper extremity committee of ISAKOS. While the anatomy of the shoulder has been studied well for many centuries and has not changed, the authors of this book highlight what has improved: our ability to evaluate and understand anatomy in health and disease in a dynamic and living body. In the past, researchers have been limited to cadaver dissections to uncover the secrets of functional anatomy. Those works have been important for our understanding, but they have limitations. During the last 30 years, dramatic changes in the tools available for practitioners and researchers have become available. The arthroscope has been central to this effort but has had a great deal of help from imaging modalities including MRI, CT and ultrasound. These new tools have allowed greater understanding of how the anatomy is modified by disease processes. This book points us to a better understanding of normal anatomy and its variations as well as the changes that have occurred secondary
