Selection Statement:

Sports medicine has evolved dramatically in the past 40 years. What began as a recognition by a small group of orthopaedists of the unique needs of athletes has grown into a complex subspecialty encompassing many different fields of medicine. This textbook is comprehensive and succinct and yet reflects the body of knowledge that now reflects orthopaedic sports medicine science and patient care.
