TY - JOUR T1 - THE ATHLETE'S SHOULDER. Edited by James R. Andrews and Kevin E. Wilk. New York, Churchill Livingstone, 1994. $135.00, 748 pp. AU - Gerbino, Peter Y1 - 1998/04/01 N1 - JO - The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery SP - 611 EP - b VL - 80 IS - 4 N2 - The fact that Andrews is an orthopaedic surgeon and Wilk is a physical therapist lends a multidisciplinary perspective to the text. Of the seventy-six contributing authors, forty-one are physicians; thirty-one are physical therapists or athletic trainers, or both; and the remaining four are researchers or other allied-health professionals. The editors state that the text is intended for "clinicians, physicians, therapists, athletic trainers, and others," but any attempt to appeal to such a broad audience can be dangerous as the material may be too general for some readers and too specific for others. Nevertheless, the balance that the editors have managed to achieve makes this volume unique among texts on the shoulder. SN - 0021-9355 M3 - doi: UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ER -
