This book should be a standard text book at any family physician's office. I had the previous edition and loved it...as did my colleagues and patients. The book uses lay term descriptions of the different sports medicine related diagnoses along with nice illustrations of the joints and surrounding muscles. To assist in the recovery process Dr. Rouzier added simple and clear illustrations of different exercises and injured patient can do at home for a wide variety of injuries. This edition covers a wider spectrum of injuries, is in color and very easy to navigate through. I just got it this week and I'm very excited to use it with my patients. This book is on my favorites list!

My advise is to make photo copies of the desired diagnoses and give that copy to your patient...your patients will appreciate it!

I'm an Army FP currently stationed at Ft. Belvoir and I use this book to copy handouts for pt's nearly every day in clinic. It's an invaluable resource and time saver.

It is easy to navigate. If I have a patient with a muskuloskeletal problem, I simply go to the index, find the exercise, make a copy, and give it to my patient. quick and easy.

We use this book in Family Practice clinic daily , It is a very valuable tool in patient care .

I love this book! I am a faculty physician at a family medicine residency program. We use this reference multiple times per day with our doctors-in-training and our patients. Our old second edition was literally in tatters from all the use, so I was happy to find this new edition. It's even better than the previous--updated with better graphics, more topics. Even the binding is now copy machine friendly. The Sports Medicine Patient Advisor is a terrific value.

I regularly use this book in my Family Medicine office. Alot of patients come to see me with different aches and pains, and these pages are very easy to photocopy and provide to the patients. It gives a few sentences on anatomy, a picture of the anatomy showing the problem area, examples of the symptoms (pain with a certain motion, for example), care instructions (ice for a few days, for example), and good physical therapy diagrams to help heal the problem and prevent it from happening again. A very useful resource.

This book is an essential for any clinic. One of the biggest complaints in a general clinic is musculoskeletal pain. This has many simple stretches, simple explanations that make teaching the patient much easier
