Specific Sports-Related Injuries

Specific Sports-Related Injuries, edited by Sergio Rocha Piedade, Philippe Neyret, João Espregueira-Mendes, Moises Cohen and Mark R. Hutchinson offers a comprehensive and detailed overview of specific sports-related injuries and a valuable guide for decision-making to establish the best strategies to prevent and manage such injuries.

As a thorough understanding of each sports modality plays a key role, both in injury prevention and management, a dedicated chapter is devoted to each sports discipline. An international panel of authors examines all the most popular individual and team sports – including athletics, swimming, combat sports, cycling, tennis, American football, baseball, basketball, soccer and volleyball, just to mention a few. Three additional chapters present special aspects related to sports injuries: mental health concerns in athletes, radiological assessment and patient reported outcomes tailored to sports medicine.

All chapters share a consistent format, starting with a brief presentation of the sport and its history, and then discussing its dynamics, physical demands on the athlete, common sports-related injuries, biomechanics of injuries, first aid on the field, and injury prevention.

This book offers a valuable resource to orthopaedists, sports physicians as well as physiotherapists practicing in the field of sports-related injuries.
