In this issue of the Orthopedic Clinics of North America, we present several interesting articles in the Upper Extremity section reviewing common shoulder and wrist pathologies: McCormick et al present a detailed review of type II superior labral anterior to posterior tears and their arthroscopic management. A review of the pathology and comparative review of performing a biceps repair versus tenodesis is presented. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenge of treating this injury in overhead athletes. Caggiano and Matullo have provided a comprehensive review of carpal instability of the wrist. They review the mechanism of injury of intercarpal ligaments, its diagnosis, and subsequent management with particular emphasis on recent evidence.
