Description

In our increasingly active society, children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly are swimming, jogging, weight training, and competing in a wide variety of individual and team sports. Approximately 85-95% of athletic problems are handled by primary care providers, many of whom are serving as team or school doctors. Sports Medicine for the Primary Care Physician, Second Edition, provides the latest information on major topics in sports science and clinical medicine that affect primary care physicians. The first section of the book presents the history of sports medicine, the role of the primary care doctor in sports, and the scientific ingredients of good athletic care (e.g., pre-participation exam, drugs/doping, prevention and protective equipment, nutrition). The second section considers the nonoperative management of common sports injuries. After an introduction in which epidemiological, rehabilitative, and healing concerns are presented, on-field emergencies and their management are discussed. General and individual sport injuries are detailed in a cohesive, consistent format that includes relevant anatomy; epidemiology; common eponyms; mechanism of injury; history; physical, laboratory, and radiological findings; differential diagnosis; treatment; rehabilitation; consultation guidelines; and prognosis and prevention. Chapter bibliographies provide general and specific references for additional information. Appendices include pertinent sports curricula for professionals involved in athletic care, equipment lists, ACSM position statements, sports jargon compendium, and a detailed guide to common stretching/rehabilitative exercises. The book contains 259 illustrations and 98 tables.
