When reviewing any textbook that is in its fourth edition, one must compare the most recent edition with the previous three editions. The changes that the editors have made to keep up with the times, as well as their inclusion of the explosion of new information that has emerged since the third edition, are obvious. They have included a two-disc series that covers the clinical evaluation of shoulder problems and highlights difficult disorders affecting the shoulder. One could be critical that some of the video is outdated; however, it is priceless to see a young Dr. Richard Hawkins examine a patient. The physical examination certainly has not changed over time as much as Dr. Hawkins has. The editors have added "The Expert Consult," which allows the reader to view the complete contents of the textbook online, making this reference book available anywhere at any time.
