Description
The orthopedic knowledge update series from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery is THE core review and update in the field of orthopedic surgery. To maintain currency, the series is routinely updated, as is this volume targeting the shoulder and elbow. The series provides a current knowledge review of this aspect of the orthopedic specialty. It is one of the most popular series review books in the world.

Purpose
The book's purpose is to keep all orthopedic surgeons, whether they are residents preparing for in-training and boards or attendings desiring to stay up to date in the field or preparing for recertification, at the forefront of fundamental knowledge within their field. This version covers the scope of shoulder and elbow and is wonderfully comprehensive and a broad range of orthopedic surgeons will benefit from it.

Audience
The ideal audience for this book ranges from residents in training whose goal is to understand fundamental knowledge of shoulder and elbow problems to attendings well into practice who are simply trying to stay current in the field. The editor and his cohort of contributors represent the best of the best in shoulder and elbow surgery. This edition targeting shoulder and elbow will benefit all who read it.

Features
The book begins with fundamentals and basic science and continues with a series of targeted sections covering the gamut of shoulder issues ranging from arthritis to cuff disease to instability. Each chapter is efficient, beginning with an abstract summary and closing with key study points. The key study points from each chapter serve as an excellent quick review of the entire topic. The images are high quality, and both the images and tables will be high value review tools.

Assessment
The OKU series remains the gold standard of up-to-date reviews presenting current orthopedic knowledge in an efficient, highly impactful manner. This sixth edition of this OKU targeting shoulder and elbow is very well done and allows the reader to quickly get up to date in the field. I strongly recommend this book and the entire OKU series. The OKU series and this book are must-reads for all residents and highly recommended to every orthopedic surgeon who wants to stay current and up to date regarding their orthopedic knowledge.
