About this book
Reviews
“I enjoyed the book. It not only provides information on the work-up and surgical techniques for the majority of procedures a sports surgeon will encounter, it also discusses a difficult question that some sports surgeons have limited experience with, particularly as they start their careers: when to return an athlete to play. I found this the most helpful section of each chapter, which makes this book a great addition to any sports surgeon’s library.” (Matthew S. Marcus, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
