Atlas of Functional Shoulder Anatomy

The purpose of this Atlas is to focus the reader's attention on a series of bone, ligament, muscle and tendon
structures and ultrastructures that have not so far been discussed except in the most recent international literature
and in specialist journals. This Atlas also presents extremely high-definition images of "targeted" sections obtained
from cadavers preserved using state-of-the-art techniques.

The authors' intention is to present the shoulder anatomy in a new and original way and, using a simple but dedicated
descriptive language, to help the reader understand the complexity of scientific research, highlighting the importance
of integrating anatomical, biomechanical and neurophysiological knowledge.


The text is intended as a complement to the most recent and current anatomical studies in scientific research, bringing
out the importance of those miniscule structures to which precise and clear mechanical and neurological roles are now
being attributed.
