      abstract = {This handbook provides detailed, state of the art  information on simple and complex rotator cuff tears that  will be of value in daily clinical practice. It covers all  relevant aspects, including basic science, pathogenesis,  clinical and instrumental evaluation, and treatment  techniques. Drawing on the results of recent studies, the  book will enable the reader to better understand how tears  occur and what treatment should be employed in different  circumstances. Rotator cuff tear has always attracted great  interest because it may cause shoulder pain, loss of  strength, simple or complex disabilities, and partial or  total inability to work, reducing quality of life. The  goals of cuff repair are to restore footprint anatomy with  biomechanically secure, tension-free construction that  promotes biological healing at the tendon-to-bone  interface. Even today, there is cause for discussion about  when and how to perform surgical repair and on what to do  in cases of irreparable rupture. This book casts light on  such issues. It is especially designed for shoulder  surgeons and rehabilitation specialists and will also be of  value for residents and shoulder fellows.},
