(20070119)

Clinical Sports Medicine has been fully updated from the popular 2nd edition (2000). It is even more practical, now superbly illustrated, easy-to-read and packed with substantially updated and new material. There are samples of several chapters online including the whole "Pain in the Achilles region" chapter. This book describes a completely symptom-oriented approach to treating clinical problems.

The practitioner can flick to the chapter that describes the patient presentation (e.g., longstanding groin pain, acute ankle injuries) and review the likely differential diagnoses, the clinical approach and the full colour pictures of the physical examination (physical examination for several major systems are also available as a separate DVD).

The reader of this third edition of Clinical Sports Medicine benefits from the wisdom of over 50 clinicians with world-wide recognition including Jenny McConnell, Jill Cook, Roald Bahr, Liza Arendt, Per Holmich, Ben Kibler, Timothy Noakes, Pekka Kannus, Kim Bennell, Paul McCrory, George Murrell, Kevin Singer and Meena Sran and Jon Karlsson.
