SPORTS MEDICINE FOR THE ORTHOPEDIC RESIDENT

Sports medicine including care of the athlete can be an exciting and unique aspect of orthopaedic residency training and beyond. Many of us develop a lifelong passion for helping athletes get back to competition, but, at times, the challenge of mastering sports medicine can be daunting. This book is written by health care providers specifically to help residents prepare to effectively manage conditions seen in athletes both on the field and in clinical situations.

This book serves as an Introduction into sports trauma for the orthopedic resident specifically catering to what the resident needs to know about orthopedic sports medicine. The topic is approached from an anatomic standpoint where each chapter follows a fixed format. A unique feature is that this book is written by recently graduated residents who will still be acutely aware of what they wished they knew about sports medicine in their residency.
