This new resource provides easy-to-understand information on over 200 sports medicine injuries and ailments that practitioners can photocopy straight from the book-or print from an accompanying CD-ROM-to give to their patients. For each sports-related condition, it discusses the nature and causes of the injury * risk factors * injury prevention * natural history * possible complications * general treatment guidelines * and when the patient should contact the physician. And, clearly illustrated exercises enable patients to initiate the appropriate exercise program immediately.
