Extensively revised, the fourth edition of Athletic Training and Sports Medicine is a multi-purpose, multi-course text that emphasizes the post-injury management techniques used by certified/licensed athletic trainers and physicians in management of orthopaedic injuries. The collaboration of athletic trainers, sports medicine physicians, and physical therapists provides a balanced, in-depth review of common sports injuries, acute treatment, and rehabilitation as well as medical conditions that impact the entire body. In each chapter, following a description of the pathology, considerations are presented for immediate management, surgical/medical interventions, follow-up management (e.g., short-term bracing, immobilization), and factors influencing the patient’s care. This comprehensive guide, written in co-operation with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, will benefit anyone who treats orthopaedic injuries, including primary care physicians, sports physical therapists, orthopaedic surgeons, and physician assistants.
