About this book

This superbly illustrated book provides information of outstanding quality on the presentation and management of the entire range of sports injuries and conditions likely to be encountered by the sports medicine physician, as well as many other topics relating to sports activity, events, and outcomes. It is the product of close collaboration among members of several ISAKOS committees, and the chapter authors are clinicians and scientists from across the world who are acknowledged experts in sports medicine and orthopedics. The book opens by discussing fundamental topics and principles, covering subjects such as the biomechanics of injuries, physiological demands in sports practice, sports activity at different ages, nutrition and hydration, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, recovery, rehabilitation, and return to play. Subsequent chapters focus in depth on overtraining injuries, neurological disorders, sports trauma to different parts of the body, and special clinical conditions. Further topics to be addressed are different scenarios in sports (e.g., indoor vs outdoor), sports equipment, biologic treatment of sports injuries, major sporting events, and patient-recorded outcome measures.

Reviews

“This would be extremely useful for those in medical training, particularly residents and fellows. It is also a worthy reference for physicians in practice. … Overall, I found this book to be informative, well written, and useful. It is very strong in its coverage of musculoskeletal medicine. … It is well referenced and would make a fine book for trainees to read to obtain baseline knowledge in the field of sports medicine.” (Craig Young, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2019)
