About this book
Sports Injuries of the Foot is the go-to text for the management and treatment of foot injuries in athletes, demonstrating the current state-of-the-art techniques in assessment, testing and treatment. Organized anatomically beginning with the toes and working down the foot, it covers such common athletic injuries as turf toe, bunions, MTP instability and mid foot and navicular fractures, all in the context of athletic activity. Attention is also given to special considerations for the adolescent and female athlete, with an eye toward return to play. Written by clinicians for clinicians, it will be an invaluable resource for orthopedists, podiatrists, team physicians, athletic trainers and primary care providers alike.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book focuses on sports injuries of the foot and succeeds in both covering the most common injuries and reviewing the gamut of how to treat these common injuries from office to operating room to rehabilitation. … The target audience is quite broad, including athletic trainers, physical therapists, primary care sports medicine physicians, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and any practitioners who treat foot injuries or holistically care for athletes.” (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2014)Editors and Affiliations
