Rockwood and Matsen’s The Shoulder, 7th Edition provides authoritative, up-to-date coverage of the evidence, surgical techniques, imaging, and clinical decision-making involved in modern shoulder care. Senior editor Frederick A. Matsen III, together with expert section editors and internationally recognized contributors, offers clear, practical guidance for managing the full spectrum of shoulder disorders.

This extensively revised edition presents patient-centered approaches to fractures, rotator cuff disorders, instability, arthritis, failed previous surgeries, and other common and complex shoulder pathologies. It equips orthopedic surgeons, specialists, and trainees with the knowledge needed to evaluate treatment options, manage challenging cases, and achieve optimal patient outcomes.

• Features practical, richly illustrated surgical guidance covering established and emerging techniques for common and complex shoulder conditions.
• Presents multiple expert perspectives on the management of rotator cuff tears, instability, arthritis, and fractures, including differing viewpoints that reflect ongoing scientific debate.
• Critically examines modern technologies such as patient-specific 3D planning, surgical navigation, and robotic-assisted surgery, with particular attention to clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness.
• Provides an evidence-based analysis of rotator cuff repair, including the relationship between structural healing and functional outcomes, helping surgeons counsel patients about realistic expectations.
• Includes approximately 2,200 full-color illustrations, radiographs, scans, and intraoperative photographs that enhance understanding of anatomy, diagnosis, and surgical procedures.
• Delivers scientifically rigorous coverage of shoulder biomechanics and pathophysiology to support sound clinical decision-making while clearly identifying areas where uncertainty remains.
