  While other volumes deal with orthopedic trauma in sports, this is the only available book to deal with the musculoskeletal system and soft tissue injuries. It is designed to help the practitioner make an early assessment of the severity of the pathological process, and provides unique guidance regarding the athlete's future participation and performance. The book furnishes a systems-oriented view and provides in-depth treatment of diagnosis and rehabilitation, with due emphasis on the etiology of overuse injuries.
