Clinical Advances in Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
This special issue belongs to the section “Orthopedics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in shoulder arthroscopy have allowed surgeons to perform traditional open procedures and address complex procedures with minimally invasive techniques. Some of these procedures include the arthroscopic Latarjet, free bone block procedures, rotator cuff augmentation, biologic tuberoplasty, and lower trapezius tendon transfer. The current Special Issue highlights these advanced procedures and the evolution of these prior open procedures performed arthroscopically. More importantly, the surgical outcomes from these procedures are presented by experts in the field. We hope you find their contribution to the orthopedic literature beneficial and useful in your practices.
