Fantastic resource for PCPs

This is a book geared towards physicians who provide primary care for sports related injuries. After a summary of acute and overuse injuries, the book is organized anatomically: shoulder; elbow; hand and wrist; neck and back; pelvis, hip and thigh; knee; other leg injuries; ankle; and foot. The book covers diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the injured athlete. Although geared towards the primary care physician, this book is also useful for professionals who work with patients in rehabilitation: athletic trainers, PTs, Pilates instructors. It allows them to become familiar with the standard treatment protocols for sports injuries.
