The Upper Limb Committee completed this book, which was published by Springer in May 2015 (Fig. 1). This as an ambitious undertaking, but was successfully completed in time for the ISAKOS meeting, thanks to the considerable effort of the many authors and editors. We provide here an insight into some of the riches provided in this new book.
This is the first book published on this topic. It is comprehensive, authoritative and beautifully presented with

Shoulder gantry (Fig. 3 – left) is a scaffold over the top of the glenohumeral joint which is composed of the clavicle, coracoid, CAL, acromion and scapular spine. The trapezius muscle (posterior) elevates the gantry, hinging on the sternoclavicular joint (anterior-medial). The gantry swivels at the coraco-clavicular ligaments, which allows the peri- scapular muscles to change scapula orientation. With these restraints, the scapula follows the “scapular track.” The AC joint disc buffers the compressive forces and the coraco- clavicular ligaments resist the tensile forces.
The shoulder triangle (Fig. 3–right) consists of the shoulder girdle, thoracic cage and clavicular boom. The centre of the rotating humeral head is lateralised by this triangle, the width of the pulley block and the radius of the humeral head. The rotator cuff insertion is lateral to the centre of rotation of the humeral head, making it an important rotator. The peri- scapular muscles power the scapula, and the rotator cuff controls the humeral head on the glenoid. (Copyright Dr. Gregory Bain).
The coracohumeral ligament (Fig. 4a, b, c) is the second component of the “cascade of suspension.” This significant structure spans from the coracoid to the humeral tuberosities. The CHL suspends and tethers the humeral head, like a “ball on a string.” It reinforces the biceps pulleys, the cable and the insertions of the subscapularis and supraspinatus.

with legs for outriggers. The articulated spinal tower has
a thoracic platform on which the crane is housed. The
clavicular boom articulates at the sternoclavicular joint and is elevated by the trapezius from the posterior tower. The “suspensory cascade” extends from the outer clavicle to the humeral head and includes the clavicle / coraco- clavicular ligaments / coracoid pr5/o6/15c9e:26sAMs coraco-humeral ligament/humeral head. The scapula is a pulley, strategically positioned in the middle of the cascade of suspension, between the two ligamentous complexes. It swivels on the coraco-clavicular ligaments, to allow the scapula to accommodate the shape of the “scapular track” and the position of the humeral head. The scapula position is controlled by the multiple powerful per-scapular muscles, that control the orientation of the glenoid and scapular body, for shoulder stability and power (Copyright Dr. Gregory Bain).
