As governments around world increasingly recognize promote importance in preventing wide range health-related problems (e.g. obesity, diabetes cardiovascular disease), has highlighted need improve our understanding tendon ligament healing regeneration. Thus, book welcome addition literature. It covers variety topics its 15 chapters, deals with from broad perspectives. These include anatomical, biomechanical surgical. Much content what one might predict title. it comprehensively basic structure function tendons, joint capsules, excellent coverage hand, several useful chapters on shoulder account cruciate repair sets current approaches historical context. The editor (William R. Walsh) senior author excellent, elementary overview how be evaluated clinically tested biomechanically. Those new field find chapter particularly useful. well illustrated quality paper good. However, few photographs colour. Notable exceptions plates accompany bone by Weiler colleagues. Particularly striking, reviewer, image Sharpey's fibres at unnamed fibrous enthesis. In summary, should appeal scientists clinicians – including not only anatomists, but also orthopaedic surgeons sports medicine specialists. I am puzzled lack any Achilles tendon. injuries mid-substance tendon, ‘false sheath’ calcaneal attachment site (insertional tendinopathies) documented literature, some treatment topic have been expected. There inevitably small number typographical errors writing style numerous authors varies somewhat. Nevertheless, overall impression most favourable congratulated task done.
