From the Publisher
As exercise and sports have become increasingly popular in the past decade, a growing need for family physicians to have access to information about the sports medicine concerns of their patients has developed. This easy-to-use reference provides primary care practitioners and therapists with the tools they need to evaluate and manage injuries and medical problems in both athletes and non-athletes. The editors emphasize a symptom-oriented approach that mimics how problems are experienced in everyday practice. A differential diagnosis, based on the area of complaint, is given and the reader is guided through physical findings, radiographs, and special tests that confirm a given diagnosis. This is the ideal sports medicine textbook for family physicians.As exercise and sports have become increasingly popular in the past decade, a growing need for family physicians to have access to information about the sports medicine concerns of their patients has developed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for a Sports Medicine Rotation,
By
This review is from: Handbook of Sports Medicine: A Symptom-Oriented Approach (Paperback)
I have just started using this textbook as required reading for my students and residents on their Sports Medicine rotation with me. It is very readable in a month. The information, while a little dated, is still very useful. It gives practitioners a very good foundation to build upon. The information is very well laid out and easy to read.I highly recommend this text book!
