Principles and Practice of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine

By Donald T. Kirkendall, Kevin P. Speer, William E. Garrett

Written by more than 90 well-known experts, this volume provides complete coverage of the musculoskeletal aspects of sports medicine. The book offers detailed, authoritative guidelines on the diagnosis, evaluation, conservative care, and surgical treatment of every sports-related musculoskeletal injury, from head to toe. More than 900 illustrations complement the text.The book is organized according to anatomic parts that support the differential approach that clinicians use when evaluating an injury. Because specific sports place unique demands on the musculoskeletal system, the text also discusses aspects of injury within the most common sports. Principles and Practice of Orthopaedic Sports Medicine is part of a three-volume series. The other volumes focus on exercise and sport science and primary care aspects of sports medicine. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.
