"This is an attractively presented text which represents the proceedings of a recent international conference on the subject of shoulder arthroscopy. ... Particularly impressive throughout is the quality of illustrations, comprising a mixture of excellent coloured line drawings, which would certainly be of interest to any radiologist ... . The book is clearly written primarily for orthopaedic surgeons but would certainly be of value to the radiologist with a particular interest in shoulder imaging and who requires a detailed knowledge of arthroscopic techniques."
