Sports Medicine: Just the Facts

Easy access to concise, authoritative answers on the comprehensive range of health issues sports clinicians confront. Perfect as a desk reference or quick review for certification exams, this manual gives readers quick solutions to diagnostic and treatment questions, an abundance of useful tables and charts, emergency-care procedures, plus incisive strategies for keeping athletes healthy. Intended for clinicians preparing for the Certificate of Added Quality in Sports Medicine exam, this review summarizes information about medicinal and musculoskeletal problems often seen in athletes. Some of the 103 contributions address the treatment and rehabilitation of a specific body part, while others focus on a particular sport. Topics include nutrition, diagnostic imaging, gait analysis, endocrine considerations, rotator cuff pathology, wrist and hand fractures, nerve entrapments, taping and bracing, and the geriatric athlete.
